A wonderful movie which takes you inside the world of the hill people of the Ozark mountains and really gives you a sense of the culture. The main character Ree played by Jennifer Lawrence is wonderfully portrayed and the supporting actors are phenomenal. She searches through the whole move for her lost father and encounters all kinds of scary "relatives" along the way. Beaten, threatened and finally she finds out exactly what happened to her drug "cooking" father. Great story line and it really pulls you in to the culture.
It is a small movie which no doubt will win many critics awards and deservedly so. The acting is great, the cinematography is wonderful and the story is interesting.
It does such a good job of portraying the scary culture of the Ozarks so much so, that I would never want to visit there let alone live in that type of environment. My "relatives" aren't always inclined to beat or kill me, so I'll stay where I'm at thank you.
