Winter's Bone
Winter's Bone
2010
In this unflinching noir drama, resilient teen Ree Dolly goes on the trail of her missing, drug-dealing father when his absence jeopardizes the family's safety. Her deadbeat dad has a key court date pending -- and Ree is determined that he show up.
Scott Hardie: “It was ok.”
Hypekill may have spoiled this one for me; I found it languid and tame. It's called "country noir," but noir is meant to lack a moral hero; this protagonist is perfect and prevails by winsomeness. At least the poor Ozark backwoods looked authentic.
