65. Martha Marcy May Marlene (2011, dir. Sean Durkin)
A claustrophobic look at cult psychology and its lingering after-effects. Stark to the point of hypothermia, it's a much deeper, empathetic and rewarding viewing than some of the other similar films, like Sound of My Voice or The East, and likely more fun than whatever island resort that Jared Leto is currently trying to lure the disposably affluent to.
HM: Room (2015) is a powerful drama which I don't feel is necessarily helped by the wraparound hostage plot. On the sheer matter of the psychology, the examination of clinical depression, it could stand on its own without such a criminal conceit.

I take it from your additional commentary here that you are not a Brit Marling fan?
