1) You know how I know a film is good? When I find myself googling reviews after watching it to get other's opinions.
2) This is not a film to watch while doing other things. The edit is a clever back & forth between the protagonist's two worlds - the cult she recently escaped from and the "family" she makes her way back to. Watching her struggle to define what's real and what's not is totally compelling.
3) If you're curious as to how people are lured into a cult, this film will show you. It holds nothing back. It's a sick, sick world that actually exists in modern times.
4) If you like films that wrap up with a pretty bow, this one is not for you. It leaves you feeling as unsettled in the final seconds as it does for the 1 hour & 42 minute run time.
5) Elizabeth Olsen is the one to watch in the infamous family. Sure, her sisters can make clothes & they killed it on "Full House" in 1990, but Elizabeth is the one with the skills. She's a beauty (she eats) & she's supremely watchable.
