Winter's Bone

Beautifully adapted and innately directed by Debra Granik.

A poignant yet hard-hitting tale of an Ozark mountain girl who relentlessly fights to take care of her ill mom and two siblings , trying to find her missing father who has run amok after a drug-bust and forlorn her to settle their house claim: the only... survival shelter they have.
Jennifer Lawrence in the role of Ree Dolly exudes maturity once portrayed by Ellen Page in Juno. Far more tacit and impeccable.

Its Noomi Rapace who shines in her armor of goth look, heavy work out and a callous disposition seldom placid. I am against Hollywood trying to remake this classic even though a stalwart director like David Fincher is attempting a hand at to repackage for a global reach. I affirm with the director Niels Arden Oplev's conviction to vouch for his leading lady for the role instead of any le...
