Winter's Bone Dir. Debra Granik
Feat. Jennifer Lawrence (Ree Dolly), John Hawkes (Teardrop), Dale Dickey (Merab), Garret Dillahunt (Sheriff Baskin), & Lauren Sweetser (Gail)
In Ozarks, Missouri, 17 year old, Ree Dolly is the parent of the house. She takes care of her two younger siblings and family problems while her father is M.I.A. and the mother isn't psychologically there. Red goes through a series of events finding out where her father is. She seeks help from her uncle "Teardrop" who actually comes off as a cold-hearted person, at first he does nothing to help Ree figure out what happened to her father. Ree only has one person who she can actually confide in and thats her best friends, but when she tries getting help the husband of her best friend is a little hard to get some help from. As Ree takes it upon herself to find out about her father, she gets herself into a lot of trouble. After, getting into an altercation Ree takes a step back from all the searching. It turns out she wasn't the only one searching for Jessup Dolly (Ree's father), he was being searched for by the police. As time goes on the women who jumped Ree propose a deal. The proposal wold be hard for Ree to complete, emotionally and physically, but would relieve her from all the stress and problems going on.
Overall, I thought this movie was very interesting there were never an moments where I got bored watching it. The directors and producers brought the book to life very well, they made sure it was understandable and it didn't feel like any parts were skipped. I definitely recommend this movie to anyone. Even though I found it ironic that her uncle's name was Teardrop he turned around at the end and helped find out where his missing brother was and he became close with Ree and her siblings.
