Review of Winter's Bone (2010) by Eric N — 06 Aug 2013

I'm not seeing why everyone likes this movie so much. The cinematography and Jennifer Lawrence's acting is excellent, but those reasons don't make it a great movie. There's more to a movie than just acting, I don't see how people keep forgetting about the story, which is the most important part of a film.

That is where this movie fails horribly, the story is boring and dull. At the end of the movie, the first thought that comes to mind, is Who Cares. The story is that pointless. So she is struggling and poor, and looking for her dead father, none of that makes an interesting movie.

I give the filmmakers credit for being able to trick everyone into liking this movie.
