Not the wife of Glengarry Glen Ross...
Elizabeth Olsen shines brightly amongst the dimness. I can understand the plaudits but for me this is an indie movie that tries to hard. The relentless cutting between now and recent past is jarring and consequently the narrative never gets the chance to settle. The 'cult' is too Manson-ic. Repeating actual activities of the Family but asking us to believe them in a contemporary setting was both lazy and distracting. And for all its disturbing imagery the key character of cult leader Patrick was not fleshed out enough to let us understand the omnipresent fear that Marcy was so concerned by.
All a bit ho-hum
Score 5/10
