Movie - "Martha Marcy May Marlene" (2011)
Movie - "Sleeping Beauty" (2011)
Completely by accident yesterday I saw two movies that are intimate examinations of young women who, despite (or perhaps because of) their independence and their cold intelligence, are sucked into all-consuming institutions. In "Martha" it's a Catskills Mountain cult and in "Sleeping Beauty" it's a high-end prostitution service.
And I didn't love either one of them, but they both stuck with me in a weird way, particularly "Martha." You really don't fully realize the stakes involved until the end.
