Not to be confused with the world's least-watched porno "Edgar Winter's Boner", WINTER'S BONE, tells the story of Ree (Jennifer Lawrence), a 17-year-old girl born and raised in the hillbilly outbacks of Missouri. Her
mother is a vegetable who sits and stares the wall all day. So, it's up to
Ree to raise her two younger siblings by herself. Her worthless
father is a crankster and a snitch who's on the run. To make matters even worse,
her pa put their shitty house and the 100 acres surrounding it up for his bail! So now Ree
has one week to prove to the bondsman that her father is dead or they're gonna
be out on the street, well, more like out on the dirt road.I liked this country noir. Great acting, authentic sets and county locations, good pace, depressing story, but I do wish it had been darker because even though you gotta guy getting his hands chopped off with a chainsaw WINTER'S BONE only touches the surface of the kind of fucked up shit that goes on out in those woods.
Recommended.
