I'm going to stop apologising for being behind with reviews. I'm over it.
Saw MMMM when it first came out a few weeks back. Story of a girl, who after disappearing for a long time calls her sister and asks to be picked up. Through a series of flashbacks we learn that she's been living with a cult but she won't talk about it/can't talk about it. She's obviously been institutionalised/brain washed/traumatised by the experience and her reliability as the story teller is in doubt.
Nonetheless there is a beautifully executed creeping tension and fear. What did happen and will the past catch up, what will happen if it does?
It's very subtlely done, brilliantly acted and the sort of indy cinema I love with one caveat which I can't explain for fear of spoiling it but the ending was just a little unsatisfactory for me but that might me more me than the film.
It's getting 77% from me. On IMDB its got a score of 72% and a Metacritic rating of 76%. While on Rotten Tomatoes it has 92% thumbs up from critics and 72% of visitors gave it three and a half stars or higher.
