In her stunning feature film debut, Elizabeth Olsen delivers an electrifying, star-is-born performance in this gripping psychological thriller that is far and away one of the year's best! After escaping from a dangerous cult and the watchful eye of its charismatic leader (Academy Award® Nominee John Hawkes), a young woman named Martha (Olsen) tries to reclaim a normal life with her family. But the haunting memories from Martha's past trigger a chilling paranoia — and nowhere seems safe as the fragile line between her reality and delusions begin to blur.

This movie does not come close to describing the horrors of the subject. Shallow and one dimensional, we never get to fully understand what is going on in the victims mind. It could have been a great movie, even an educational one. But sadly and at a frustratingly slow pace, this just reinforces some old myths, while telling us nothing about modern day cults and the devastation they cause to individuals and family's. This subject is waiting for a better writer and director to come along .

Superb psychodrama. No car chases or explosions.
