Plot Summary:
Martha Marcy May Marlene is a gripping psychological drama that follows Martha, a young woman who manages to escape from the grips of an abusive cult after living there for two years under the name Marcy May.

She struggles to distinguish between her haunting memories and her unsettling dreams, blurring the lines between reality and fantasy.
