Highly recommended

Renting Winter's Bone was a good decision on my part. I loved the backwoods dialogue and the menacing characters (including Arkansas's Ozark Mountain area itself).
"Never ask for what oughta be offered." Mark my words, this scene is going to be shown at the Oscars. It's a pivotal moment when we discover what 17-year-old Ree Dolly is all about — tough and principled. On a side note: Jennifer Lawrence (who plays Ree) looks a lot like Renee Zellweger, without the weird facial expressions.
