Review of Winter's Bone (2010) by Guido M — 21 Jun 2012
" Winter's Bone is not only Jennifer Lawrence's break-out performance, but a very, very, VERY turbulent, deep and harmful drama definately not for weak viewers".
The academy and I both got shocked when seeing that 17 year old girl, play a strong, brave character in Winter's Bone, and she was nominated but got snubbed by Natalie Portman, which in my opinion, wasn't better than this.
But of course that's not it. Winter's Bone is not Jennifer Lawrence. Winter's Bone is Violence, rawness and tragic horror in any way. The result, is really strong.
I wasn't expecting a sweet, motherly movie but indeed, Winter's Bone left me shocked in so many ways once it finished, I couldn't move from the seat. I was stuck as the conflict, the things that poor teenanger had to pass through to find her father. And some scenes, like the one in the boat, are so tough that viewers will feel uncomfortable and tears will go out while our mouths are wide open. But that's what makes this movie special. Is a totally naked art film that doesn't fear to show it's obscene side.
Teenager Ree (Jennifer Lawrence) is a girl who has to keep up with his sick mother and her Siblings, Sonny and Victoria. One day, a sheriff comes and tell her that if their father, who is a drug fabricant, does not show up in the court for his trial, they will loose their home. So now, Ree has to find her father, a nasty trip that will change her life and other's.
Winter's Bone is Debra Ganik's jewel, blood-splattered, harsh and striking, but good enough to make everyone cry.
