Admirable film.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
As someone born and raised in that area (my family has been here over 200 years now) it is insanely realistic. The clothing, the culture, and the desperation that comes from generations of extreme poverty and hopelessness.
It is an ode to freedom, a good independent film uses, but the style uses.We should not be influenced to know how Jennifer Lawrence got the role, who did the casting twice, a good girl and did not take it for that and then came back without sleep two days and without bathing and was when they selected it, but is that great . I would say it was his best part.The movie comes to you. He catches you and will not let you go. It's one of those movies that you believe it all.The picture you have is great. It has a cold photograph, like everything that happens in the film. It counts, accompanies and is beautiful.The direction, although it is a little long, although it does not make nice plans, nor knows how to narrate with the camera, but it is very simple, but at least it has made a film that you like to see.It's a movie that will remain
Jennifer Lawrence is really good actress who unfortunately acts mostly in lousy movies. Beside Poker House and Silver Linings that are great, all the other movies I saw so far were really lousy... X-Men, The Hunger Games, Winter's Bone...8/10 for Jennifer5/10 for movie
If you can make it through this movie, you can make it through anything. This is tough to make it through due to the material, dark atmosphere, and somewhat plodding pace. Jennifer Lawrence's performance is a major highlight as she has to take care of her siblings (as a 17- year-old) due to the fact that her mother doesn't give a damn and her father is on the lam from the law. When the law comes a-calling, she finds herself in a deeper hole. She basically finds herself in the redneck world of moonshine and illegal drugs. This is an outstanding movie with much to recommend to it.*** out of ****
