Last night I watched Winter's Bone and was captivated by the beautiful images on screen. Jennifer Lawrence did a great job depicting the struggles of a 17 year old in charge of her brother and sister and sick mother. This is not your typical Hollywood action movie, so if you're looking for speed, this is not the movie for you. However, if you're looking for great performance, beautiful cinematography, and a thrilling depiction of human struggle, then this is definitely worth watching.
Aside from Lawrence, the rest of the actors did a splendid job. Debra Granik, director, knew what images to capture. One of my favorite scenes was when Lawrence is teaching her brother and sister how to hunt, then skin a squirrel. That was priceless.
If you haven't done so already, get your copy and watch the movie. It has definitely earned the Sundance award it won and the four Academy Award nominations as well.
