It Looks Like I Am Looking Into A Kaliedescope

In a mountainous area of \u200b\u200bMissouri, one of the most sinister located deep in the heart of the United States of America, the adolescent Ree (Jennifer Lawrence ) take on their shoulders the entire management of the family. Since the mother is ill and her father was arrested for manufacturing and trafficking of methamphetamine, Ree is the only one who can take care of two younger siblings, care for and, literally, obtaining their food. One day, the local sheriff knocks on the door to announce that the father was released from prison by ensuring their property as security and that unless respond to the subpoena, the house will be confiscated by the police. Ree so it makes the footsteps of his father in a world of outcasts, of despair and sinister smugglers who try not to let the truth. An incipit
interesting but certainly not original, a gait constantly on the edge of inertia, a place of "facts" certainly not filled with the rhythms of contemporary cinema (which is a great value): Despite all this, Winter's Bone (to be translated more or less as "a cold winter," or in various other ways but which explicitly refer to episodes of the film) is to be considered in all respects a kind of thriller, very understated, but damn frightening. Second feature of the talented Debra Granik, is a solid film, engaging, extremely well-acted and absolutely deserving of all four candidates' Oscar just received.
Based on the novel by Daniel Woodrell and set in small town America more dark and desperate, where silence reigns like the freezing temperatures, Winter's Bone, produced classic style Sundance, it affects the essential crudeness of the dialogues is that of staging nothing is filtered, so that in some places seems to attend more of a docu-drama in which a product of fiction.
As mentioned, the strength of the film is the acting: Jennifer Lawrence, 20, has an amazing stage presence, while John Hawkes , I've seen The Perfect Storm and Me and You and Everyone We Know , seems able to express themselves with only one eye, the rest of the cast, composed mainly of characters unknown to the general public, it is literally extraordinary grip and credibility.
Basically a film not to be missed, unhealthy and disturbing but authentic and invigorating.
