Storyline
17 year-old Ree Dolly sets out to track down her father, who put their house up for his bail bond and then disappeared. If she fails, Ree and her family will be turned out into the Ozark woods. Challenging her outlaw kin's code of silence and risking her life, Ree hacks through the lies, evasions and threats offered up by her relatives and begins to piece together the truth.

Reviews

For all the horror, it's the drive toward life, not the decay, that lingers in the mind. As a modern heroine, Ree Dolly has no peer, and Winter's Bone is the year's most stirring film.
100
Again, Granik has foregrounded a bold woman, expertly balanced between fearlessness and Ree's own private nervousness.
100
One of the unshowiest and most true-blooded epics of Americana you're ever likely to see.
100
Granik has no taste for noir archness, opting for a chilly, shot-on-decaying-locations naturalism that feels as lived-in as Lawrence's performance.

Boxoffice Magazine
Winter's Bone so far past any notion of formula or precedent that comparison is a futile exercise. This film is a thing all its own.
