WINTER'S BONE. A bleak mini masterpiece that feels like a myth unfolding in the rural American wastelands. Sparse, silent and menacing , this had me feeling anxious throughout, waiting for violence to erupt at any moment. Jennifer Lawrence is amazing in the lead role as a 17 year old raising her younger siblings whilst caring for her sick mother with the knowledge that their home will be taken from them if she can't locate her wayward father. I can't praise this one enough. Highly recommended.
