I might have some more to say about this film next week, when my top 10 films list comes out, but in the meantime, word has hit that Martha Marcy May Marlene will be arriving on Blu-ray and DVD February 21, 2012. Besides having one of the most fun titles to say out loud, Martha Marcy May Marlene is a tense psychological thriller revolving around a young girl, Martha (a fantastic Elizabeth Olsen) who has escaped a cult. The film moves through a nonlinear timeline, exploring Martha’s fragile psyche, as she contends with both the life she lived and the readjusting to a regular society. It is a wonderfully creepy film in a very low-key sense and I am looking forward to checking it out again when it arrives on Blu-ray. Read on to find more from the official press release and to learn out more about the special features present on the disc.
