Continuing in a current them of films that make you wanna shoot yourself in the face, Winter’s Bone is a film that shows the effects of having a drug making father who decides to use the house you, your messed up mother, and your younger siblings live in as collateral before skipping bail. The feel good movie of the summer, I say!
The film stars Jennifer Lawrence (Monk, The Bill Engvall Show, upcoming X-Men: First Class) as Ree Dolly. As I mentioned, she has it rough. Like, super rough. There’s barely any food. Her father is no where to be seen. Everyone around her is either high, sad, starving, or a combination of all three. When your meth addicted uncle named “Teardrop” played by John Hawkes (Perfect Storm, Rush Hour, I Know What You Did Last Summer) is the most logical person you know things are messed up.
Spoilers are indeed following this line.
