    Winter's Bone. 2010. Based on the novel by Daniel Woodrell. Directed by Debra Granik and adapted by Granik and Anne Rosellini. I taught this in an American Indie film module. Classic neorealism. youtu.be/bE_X2pDRXyY?...

    Went to Winter's Bone at a film festival. Leaned over to my wife and said "that girl's going to win an Oscar in five years." The actress in question - Jennifer Lawrence - did it in three.

    Working on a bunch of stuff i can't show yet, so it's a rummage through the art archives today; with my alternative movie poster for WINTER'S BONE, a very tense and very good rural thriller starring Jennifer Lawrence. A quiet and lonely film. Highly recommended!

    Not quite the same, because it was the kind of indie movie that's built as an actor showcase, but seeing Jennifer Lawrence in WINTER'S BONE made it instantly obvious she was going to be a huge, huge star

    63.  Leave No Trace (Netflix, 2018) Rewatched this brilliant film because Michael Hurley is in it, with Marisa Anderson. Director Debra Granik marries a documentary style to a delicate touch and real insight, and Thomasin McKenzie is this film's equivalent of JLaw in Granik's awesome Winter's Bone

    While it didn't deal w race, as I recall, the film "Winter's Bone" caught the depravity of intra-community and intra-family betrayal and mistrust that exists among white people in the Ozarks. Most freaking depressing film I've seen in a long time.

    I think this is the film that introduced Thomasin McKenzie, and it's by the same director as Winter's Bone, so it's worth the watch imho.

    I grew up on a dairy farm almost exactly halfway between Springfield and West Plains. Then lived in Springfield for another ten years before moving away for good. What struck me about WINTER'S BONE (the movie) was how accurate it was about drilling into kid's heads that there was no escaping there.

    I like how WINTER'S BONE fictionalizes West Plains as West Table. The movie version of TOMATO RED doesn't even pretend to be in the Ozarks but keeps the town names (and mispronounces our very Missouri specific bastardized French names)

    That is true. She did do a great job in black swan. And Lawrence still needed to pay her dues. Winter's Bone was one of her first major roles. I just felt very moved by her performance in that movie.

    Ever see the movie Winter's Bone? Great performance by young Jennifer Lawrence in a dark little character study set in the Ozarks. Desperately poor & hungry, she teaches her 5-8yo sibs to trap & skin squirrels who do it cuz they're so eager to eat!

    Being a college town definitely has helped Elkins through the years. But it's in a huge, very rural county, so as a whole it's overwhelmingly become the opposite. If you've ever seen Winter's Bone (a wonderful film), it reminds me so much of folks I know who live in the hollers. 😂

    A little too neat and also a little too sentimental. But Gaige's prose, which relays the physical breakdown of a lost hiker in the Appalachian wilderness and the effort to find her, is so vivid that I devoured this. Would lap up a Debra Granik (Winter's Bone, Leave No Trace) movie adaptation.
