7. Winter's Bone

A bright light in a world of despair.
Wow! Winter's Bone is bleak!

Jennifer Lawrence's Ree is the only character to display any kind of empathy towards anyone in this uncomfortable story of the hunt for her missing father.

It seems everyone is trying to kill, maim, rip-off or steal from each other in a never ending spiral of misery and betrayal.

I loved it!

Although I wouldn't recommend watching it if you are feeling a bit down...

  1. Any film where the happy climax is the 17 year old female lead getting the chance to chainsaw the hands of her Dad's submerged in a swamp corpse is a always going to be a laugh.

    Bleak? It was a riotous giggle-fest...

    Oh yeah, spoiler alert.
