Winter's Bone

Terrific acting and memorable folk music punctuate this gritty, powerful, critically acclaimed, discussion-provoking film in which a dirt-poor, feisty, headstrong, 17-year-old girl (Jennifer Lawrence), who cares for her sickly mother (Valerie Richards) and two younger siblings (Isaiah Stone and Ashelee Thompson) in a dilapidated shack in the Ozark Mountains with little help from her cocaine-snorting brother (John Hawke), desperately searches for her father when she learns from the sheriff (Garrett Dillahunt) and a bail bondsman that she is danger of losing her home and land if her dad misses his court hearing.
