Deep in the Ozark Mountains, clans live by a code of conduct that no one dares defy—until an intrepid teenage girl has no other choice. When Ree Dolly's crystal-meth-making father skips bail and goes missing, her family home is on the line. Unless she finds him, she and her young siblings and disabled mother face destitution. Undertaking a heroic (and increasingly dangerous) quest, Ree traverses the backwoods country to confront her kin, unravel their dark mysteries, and bring her father home.
In a thrilling and insightful adaptation of the acclaimed "Country Noir" novel by Daniel Woodrell, director Debra Granik (Down to the Bone) brings to the screen all the ingredients of an archetypal "rite of passage" tale with thrilling tension, seemingly insurmountable obstacles, and a reluctant hero. Only this time, the young warrior is a teenage girl, who, in the course of her unthinkable journey, discovers her own hidden strength.
Featuring a star-making performance by Jennifer Lawrence (The Burning Plain) as the headstrong Ree, and stellar supporting turns from John Hawkes (Deadwood), Sheryl Lee (Twin Peaks) and others, WINTER'S BONE depicts the landscape, people, music and dialects of the Ozarks with stunning grit and realism. Winner of both the Dramatic Grand Jury Prize and the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, the film is a compelling, tension-filled testament to how people can survive even in the worst of circumstances.
