Tour de force brilliant acting from Olsen. Simple plot ratchets up tension becoming a will-she-won’t-she “deprogram” from cult. Ending = meh
Slow burn but really great acting. I wouldn’t recommend this for everyone but it worked for me.
Cult mentally is a dangerous, scary thing.
Great subject to dissect, very memorable and hard to look away from. Fantastic performance from Olsen too.
Olsen is stellar, and the unsettlement is unrelenting. Despite being somewhat unsatisfying, it's still worth a watch.
A subdued and beautifully acted story about a former cult member trying to re-assimilate in regular society.
psychological-thriller that is very worth your time.
Enjoyed this and the short he made in 2010. Olsen is pretty good.
It has intriguing flash backs and feel of unease that keep you in the story aside from those it goes a bit slow
Compelling portrayal of the effects of a cult on the self. Wanted more answers though. Stunning performance by Elizabeth Olsen.
