Every time I see this title, I think it’s a Woody Allen film and it is decidedly not.

Martha Marcy May Marlene

Plot Summary: Having escaped a cult, a young woman must confront her buried memories in order to rebuild her life.
Release Date: October 7, 2011

Trailer

Poster
Rating: B-
Commentary: I get a strong Winter’s Bone vibe from this film. Although it looks somewhat interesting, it could very easily be a misfire. 		Rating: C+
Commentary: Taking a page from the Cheap Indie Poster Brigade, this lacks substance and detail even if it seems somewhat fitting.
Preview Link: CLICK HERE for link to the trailer, more posters (if available) and other commentary not featured here.
Oscar Chances: A lot depends on how well critics support the film. It’s in a cushy October release berth, so it could be a contender for the art house slot in this year’s race, but we’ll need to see how it fares with critics groups first.
