Review of Winter's Bone (2010) by Amheretojudge — 12 Jun 2018

A concrete supporter..

Winter's Bone Among plenty of character driven features that are produced, only few of them gets it right and this is definitely one of them. As mentioned, there is a lot of craft to explore in here that too in each aspect, as usually as an indie feature does and the primary reason to that is the free spirit that it brings along with it that needs no boundaries and isn't afraid on telling its own story. The writing is strong, witty with gripping screenplay that leaves the audience on the edge of the seat throughout the course of the feature with a hint of mystery in the air. Debra Granik; the screen-writer and director, has done a tremendous work on pulling off such a feature through her brilliant execution skills where each frame is given equal importance and speaks volume in here. On performance level, it all comes down to Jennifer Lawrence; the protagonist, who carries it off all on her shoulder with her head held high. It is short on technical aspects like sound department and art design but is fulfilling in its perfect editing. Winter's Bone is a concrete supporter to the cinema, actors, makers and the audience as it conveys crucial message in crystal clear language that cannot go unheard.
