![]() It just makes you more and more frustrated, especially when the credits begin to roll and you realise that there was no real climax or even a resolution worthy of making this film one of the best of 2011. It deliberately doesn't explain certain things like why the sisters' lives went on such different paths perhaps because they wanted to leave so much of this film's content for the viewers to question. At some points it feels like the film is trying too hard to be unique. Other performances in the film were pretty weak and the storyline at some points can be weak too. Elizabeth Olsen was very good and this is a great debut for her. As the film progresses the flashbacks become longer and her reaction to them becomes more severe but this is as far as the film goes. Each flashback's beginning is similar to the real life situation. It is edited in a very clever way, with flashbacks to memories of the cult dotted throughout. The content is good, the story is of a girl trying to adapt back to normal life after escaping a cult. This film got a lot of praise and was even described as one of the best films of 2011, after watching it I find it hard to see why people would say that.
