Winter's Bone

(Winter's Bone), Debra Granik / USA, 2010
original version / Czech subtitles, 100 min

17 year-old Ree embarks on a mission to find her father after he uses their family house as a way of securing his bail and disappears without a trace. Ree, taking care of her two young siblings and self-insufficient mother can let her home to be taken. Being turned out into the Ozark woods, Ree challenges her outlaw kin’s code of silence and risks her life to save her family. She hacks through the lies, evasions and threats offered by her relatives and begins to piece together the truth. Perfectly worked film with authentic performance of the real inhabitants of Ozark, their typical accent and music, was worthily spotted not only by the Academy Awards but also by major film festivals.
