Winter's Bone (2010)
Starring : Jennifer Lawrence, John Hawkes
Dir: Debra Granik
Writers: Debra Granik, Anne Rosellinni
It was a winner at the Sundance Film Festival, recieving the Grand Jury Prize and the Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award. It wasn't these awards that got me excited to see this film, rather it was that this film looked, far and away, better than 95% of the fare the entertainment industry has been spewing out so in 2010. I walked into the Winter's Bone expecting a fantastic film. What did I get? A reawakened love for noir dramas and questions a-plenty to keep me busy for days. This film, ladies and gentlemen, is the 2010 film messiah we have been waiting for.
