I had a hard time deciding how to feel about [b]Martha Marcy May Marlene[/b]. On the one hand, it's an effective, low-key psychological thriller with an assured if intentionally disorienting structure. Yet I wondered if the interest in the abuse and subsequent social maladjustment of the main character (played wonderfully by Elizabeth Olsen) wasn't the least bit gratuitous. I decided that its steady production, setting it apart from the sleek flashy Hollywood movies I've been seeing all year, earns it a recommendation, along with great acting from Olsen and John Hawkes (from last year's somewhat similar Winter's Bone). Be aware it's not for the faint of heart, and definitely not for those who want everything spelled out for them. 1. Drive - 8/10 2. The Adjustment Bureau - 8/10 3. Hanna - 7/10 4.
