Winter's Bone

Colleen's Thoughts:
Although I recommend knowing what you are in for, I really enjoyed this film. It was an interesting take on a rural, modern, noir type story. Jennifer Lawrence has been getting a lot of buzz for her leading performance in this film and all of it is deserved. In the film she plays a protective older sister (proud to be a dolly) who needs to find her dad or at least the body of her dad to keep her house and the rest of her family intact. She goes through scary mission after scary mission, one, which isn't scary at all to her, includes teaching her brother and sister how to hunt and skin squirrels, their dinner many nights over. This was a very interesting film about an environment I thankfully have little to no idea about. I would recommend this one to all dolphin members.
