FILMS
We watched our films in the Eccles Theater, which was so big it looked more like an opera house than a movie theater!
Entered in the festival’s U.S. Dramatic Competition, this film definitely keeps you on the edge of your seat. The story is about Martha (Elizabeth Olsen) and her transition into a normal life after she spent two years in a cult.
As the story unfolds and goes deeper into Martha’s experience in the abusive cult, it becomes more and more chilling as she displays some very odd behavior and has some haunting flashbacks. Even further, during the Q&A session after the film, the director, Sean Durkin, explains the story is a true one. The movie details the experiences of his friend, who to this day, is still struggling with her transition into a “normal” life.
P.S. Elizabeth Olsen is an amazing actress. Watch out for her in the near future. She is going to be the next big star!
