Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011)
Brechtian social awareness, Ibsenesque drama with a good mix of Lars von Triers Dogville and The Idiots. A sad, intimate portrayal of the breakdown of a young girl who becomes lost and vulnerable, detached from society whilst looking for a sense of the familiar. The narrative centers around Martha's escape from a Manson-like cult, but is much more about her relationship with her sister, the loss of her mother, and the inability of society to reach out, or locate people who go missing without a trace.
