Simply Perfect

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

Very difficult and unusual film ,about a girl who takes care of the sick mother, sister and brother. Her father is a drug dealer and he is killed. She is involved in all these events.

'Winter's Bone' is a subtle and slow moving drama featuring an excellent lead performance from an up and coming Jennifer Lawrence. The film is gritty, raw and appropriately stripped back. It focuses on conveying the story in the most simplistic way possible, featuring minimal music and short dialogue exchanges throughout.The film is set in a bleak rural environment, giving it a depressing and cold feel. In contrast, the story is uplifting and the characters and their relationship with one another enjoyable. This film has spirit and is successfully absorbing without the need to be brash or flashy. 'Winter's Bone' is a good film, recommended for those who enjoy more simple, stripped back and character-driven dramas.

Jennifer Lawrence is really good actress who unfortunately acts mostly in lousy movies. Beside Poker House and Silver Linings that are great, all the other movies I saw so far were really lousy... X-Men, The Hunger Games, Winter's Bone...8/10 for Jennifer5/10 for movie

The movie that brought Jennifer Lawrence to my attention casts her as a teenage girl having to look after her impoverished family in rural Missouri. The movie is shot in a naturalistic style to give a real feeling of the miserable existence that the characters lead. In her quest to find her father, the girl is forced to confront people who have had tension with her family over the years, but she is determined to press on.I've seen a number of Jennifer Lawrence's movies over the past few years, but this is the first Debra Granik movie that I've seen. I am truly impressed. I hope to see more of her work. "Winter's Bone" is among the best that cinema has to offer. I highly recommend it.
