Suspenseful. Stylish. Disturbing. Riveting. Heartbreaking. Just a few words that describe one of the best movies of last year, Winter’s Bone. Jennifer Lawrence gives a career making performance as a teenager thrust into raising her younger brother and sister, caring for her mother who’s lost it, and dealing with questions about her missing meth making father. The tension increases as her dad’s whereabouts will determine the fate of this poor family’s house and future. Lawrence carries the weight of her family and the movie on her frail shoulders…she succeeds with the movie, the rest? You have to rent it because I will not be the one to spoil it. A mystery wrapped up in drama with a flavor all it’s own, we are taken into a world that chills US to the bone. Don’t miss it.
