4. Martha Marcy May Marlene
Newcomer Elizabeth Olsen -- sister of twins Mary-Kate and Ashley -- stuns as an impressionable woman fighting to escape the clutches of a calculating cult leader (John Hawkes). Or is she? Sean Durkin's Sundance hit dominated 2011's film festival circuit with a foreboding tone, menacing performances, and a twist ending that we're still discussing around the Filmcritic offices. "It is by every measure a smartly executed, beautifully understated thriller," our critic writes, "moving fluidly from suspense to dread and back again."
