"Martha Marcy May Marlene," Sean Durkin

Watched this a couple of hours ago. Very good. Slow-burning, but intense. Ms. Olsen is an incredible actress and John Hawkes is as creepy as ever. Many are saying it's this year's Winter's Bone; obviously they're quite different though as far as the story goes, and I liked it better than WB, to be honest.

^It's one of the films I'm really looking forward to. I'm excited to hear that it's actually good.

Is My Week With Marilyn going to be at TIFF?
