We watched Winter's Bone tonight- I wasn't sure I was going to like this movie but I thought it was very well done. It is about 17-year-old Ree Dolly who is trying to keep her family intact when her father is arrested and then jumps bail. Set in the Ozarks this movie was a bit hard to watch. Ree's father has put up their house and land for bail and if he doesn't show for the trial they will lose it all. This movie takes you up into the hills of the Ozark Mountains and some very shady characters (mostly her family). Jennifer Lawrence is Ree and I got to tell you she did a fantastic job. She learned to skin a squirrel, shoot a gun and fight for this role. I am glad she did get an Oscar nomination she definitely deserved it.
Keep an eye out for Jennifer Lawrence she is starring in the new trilogy The Hunger Games in the lead role Katniss Everdeen. After seeing this movie she will do a great job in that role too. You should definitely watch the movie!!
This movie also won a lot of awards and took Grand Jury Prize Winner at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival.
