Synopsis: Haunted by painful memories and suffering from increasing anxiety, Martha escapes an abusive cult and returns home to live with her older sister, Lucy, and Lucy’s husband, Ted. With no other family to lean on, Martha tries desperately to assimilate into Ted and Lucy’s upper-middle-class lifestyle. But nightmares of the cult that brainwashed her into living as Marcy May prevent her from connecting with the only people who may be able to save her. As Martha’s isolation grows, her severe paranoia escalates. Ultimately, she descends into a dizzying state of panic as the growing fear that she is being hunted grips her every move. Giving a breakout performance as Martha (Marcy May), Elizabeth Olsen subtly commands the screen in this stunning follow-up to writer/director Sean Durkin’s 2010 Cannes award-winning short, "Mary Last Seen."

@lisa A. The editor of this website just said it wouldn't happen again in the above comment. B. You can always put a bogus email address in that field like I just did. Can we move on with life now?

Are writers allowed to contact us at our home e-mails? That seems really wrong to me.

Calm down, everyone. If you want to see the comment we removed, it's here: http://www.indiewire.com/film/norman/ She was posting and reposting it on articles across the site and we don't keep duplicate comments on the site. Bottom line, she posted a comment on the Playlist, the writer responded using her email instead of the comments and she got upset. Have worked this out w/ all parties; it won't happen again.

This girl just wrote about being sent messages by indiewire staff at her own e-mail address and then they took her comments off.
