Winter’s Bone

Winter’s Bone

2010. USA. Directed by Debra Granik. Screenplay by Granik, Anne Rossellini. With Jennifer Lawrence, Isaiah Stone, Ashlee Thompson. Debra Granik’s second feature, Winter’s Bone, Filmmaker’s Spring 2010 cover and a Sundance Grand Jury Prize–winner, is a fierce frontier drama set in a contemporary Ozark Mountains community. Starring Jennifer Lawrence in her breakout, Oscar-nominated performance, and John Hawkes, the film sets 17-year-old Rees Dolly (Lawrence) on the road searching for her lost father, a journey that takes her into a world of methamphetamine production and adult responsibility. With quiet grandeur, Granik and her team capture a world of desolation and beauty. 100 min.
