Directed by: Debra GranikFeaturing: Jennifer Lawrence, John Hawkes, Kevin Breznahan, Dale Dickey, Garret Dillahunt, & Sheryl Lee
The buzz around this film has centered almost entirely on Jennifer Lawrence, who plays the lead character, and well it should. Her performance is real and grounded, with an intense focus reminiscent (and I am sure I am not the first to say this) of Jodie Foster. Films like these serve as encouraging reminders: There are still good films and good actors out there. I won't say much more about this film except this: Go see it. It is dark and not for the faint of heart, but anyone craving a good film with real characters will breath a sigh of relief as they are carried away into the depth and realism of this story.
