Poor Martha only wanted a family that would support and not desert her....and becomes the victim of a charasmatic leader. I think the most heart breaking part of the movie is that she turns to her sister for protection and that sister gives up on her. Of course her behavior is frustrating and intereferes with her new marriage, but it is also clear that something terrible has happened to this girl, which we learn in a series of flashbacks. Superbly acted and directed, this should be the indie darling contender at this year's Oscars, and it will haunt you for days after you see it.

This the best movie I have seen all year. It's a strange blend of drama and thriller that keeps you wondering what will happen next. Great performances by all the actors, especially Elizabeth Olsen. A must-see film.

A perfectly crafted film that focuses more on the psychological impact the actions have on the character rather than just the action itself. Both young new actress Elizabeth Olsen and John Hawkes gave GREAT performances that should not be forgotten comes awards season. A very good start for promising newcomer Sean Durkin.

Confusing movie and depressing at times. Acting was good. Sad ending.
