WOW! What a great movie. The best way I can describe it is a hillbilly Corleone family. I will warn you however this is a movie lovers movie. Winters Bone will be seen as very slow by most who watch. I though believe it is a very powerful and fascinating story. Jennifer Lawrence gives a break out and Oscar worthy performance. A lot of the actors in the movie were from the town it was filmed in which most times is a receipt for disaster, but they were able to pull it off. This also is a break out movie for the director Debra Granik whos first movie Down to the Bone was decent, but didnt hit the mark. If you love movies and do not mind a slow pace I highly recommend Winters Bone..
