I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Billy Ollie
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

Winter's Bone Among plenty of character driven features that are produced, only few of them gets it right and this is definitely one of them. As mentioned, there is a lot of craft to explore in here that too in each aspect, as usually as an indie feature does and the primary reason to that is the free spirit that it brings along with it that needs no boundaries and isn't afraid on telling its own story. The writing is strong, witty with gripping screenplay that leaves the audience on the edge of the seat throughout the course of the feature with a hint of mystery in the air. Debra Granik; the screen-writer and director, has done a tremendous work on pulling off such a feature through her brilliant execution skills where each frame is given equal importance and speaks volume in here. On performance level, it all comes down to Jennifer Lawrence; the protagonist, who carries it off all on her shoulder with her head held high. It is short on technical aspects like sound department and art design but is fulfilling in its perfect editing. Winter's Bone is a concrete supporter to the cinema, actors, makers and the audience as it conveys crucial message in crystal clear language that cannot go unheard.

A wonderful movie to watch; the nature and the people in the movie are fascinating. But what was it all about? A view on people who live at the edge of society, living a dismal life of cruelty, crime, drugs, anti-law and suppression of women? Sure that is it but I sense more in this movie like in many other American movies about borderline people in the countryside. It seems the movie makers of these films are looking for something genuine American under all tha raw behavior: independence of modern urban life which tries to overpower them. The state and all what is represent. In this movie 'Winters Bone' the independence of the person, his or her house and property is prominent all the time and the means to defend them by guns. And there is despite the drugs which sooth the rawness and pain of this life an admiration for this independence as something untouchable and at the hearth of being American.
That is strange cause it are these people who admire Trump in his outspoken right wing and racist policies. Would these film makers in their hearth also admire Trump and not the soft liberal attitudes of the millennials in the city? Those are mostly portrayed in the movies as failures, estranged people in their urban life. The hillbillies are in the end not failures but proud people.

It had a premise that didn't sound particularly interesting but is really one hell of a good movie. It may be a culture shock to some (which is a good thing) but this is one of the most emotionally moving films I've ever seen. An absolute must see dramatic thriller. Proof positive of how talented J-Law is.

If you're wondering what the first movie I gave this title to is, it's "Blue Velvet". I'm not a huge fan of Jennifer Lawrence. Every movie I've seen her in, I've hated. "American Hustle", "Silver Linings Playbook", and now this. While hate might be too strong of a word, because bored to death fits better. Plot summary: a cardboard cutout of Jennifer Lawrence tries to find out what happened to her dad (the redneck version of Walter White) while a bunch of white trash hillbillies get in her way. Lawrence has no personality, I don't see her as a strong female protagonist at all, she's no Ellen Ripley or Sarah Connor. All the other characters are either total jerks, or don't help her, I hope that sounds interesting to you, because it doesn't change for 100 minutes. This'll more than likely be the last movie with Jennifer Lawrence in it I see. I have what's called a "Three Strike Rule", if I see three movies that I don't like from a director or actor as the main character, I essentially blacklist them and avoid all films involved with them like The Plague. The first director to strike out with me was David O. Russel, the second was JJ Abrams (not for three bad movies though, because "The Force Awakens" was one of the most insulting things I've ever seen). So I guess Jennifer Lawrence is the first actor/actress to get blacklisted by me. If you like this movie, or Jennifer Lawrence as an actress, that's fine, but she's not for me.
