This movie was an experience in a perspective of a young girl, Ree, looking for her former drug dealing father, and struggling to maintain a parental role for her younger siblings. Ree became both a mother and father for her two siblings after her mother suffered from a trauma and became unresponsive. For example, she cooks them warm meals, as a mother would, but also teach them how to hunt animals and fire a rifle for survival purposes, as a father would do. Ree's father had mysteriously gone missing and she is searching for him. While asking other drug dealers, she came across some trouble as she got kidnapped and beaten. However, she now knows for sure that her father was murdered. Fortunately, her uncle, Teardrop came and save her as he known in the town as a cold blooded killer and everyone is scared of him. The movie ends with Ree telling her uncle that his brother had been killed, but he tells her not to say who had killed him. The is to show that if she said who it was, he would've indulge himself in vengeance and seek revenge. However, the last scene hinted that Teardrop will chose that path. The movie was about family. Ree became the caregiver of her mother and siblings because her father was absent most of their lives. However, Teardrop was introduced and he had a fatherly role in her life, even when he seems to be harsh and aggressive towards her, he still rescued her. In addition, Ree's dream was to leave Ozark, instead she chose to stay and continue to look after her family.
