Title: Winter's Bone: A review
Review: A rural n'er-do-well with several dependants goes missing whilst on bail - it falls to his eldest daughter to make good on the amount of said bail - or forfeit the family home.Her attempts to locate her father - who might be hiding among her own extended family of sinister outlaws - proove to be more harrowing than she had expected.The performances are quite within measure for the 'types' portrayed, the dialogue is realistic as is the action and motivation of the various characters.Essentially a melodrama that might have been set as a costume piece, but here the expositional element is 'crank' - instead of 'bank robbery' - or 'moonshine' - or even 'weed' just two or three decades ago, I found this film to be compelling, and I would have no reservations in recommending it to anyone who enjoys Westerns.
