Even before the real trouble starts - with suspicious lawmen on one side and a clan of violent drug dealers on the other - Ree Dolly faces more than the usual litany of adolescent worries. Her father, locally renowned for his skill at cooking methamphetamine, has vanished, and her emotionally hollowed-out mother has long since abandoned basic parental duties, leaving Ree to run the household and care for her two younger siblings. The family lives in southwestern Missouri, a stretch of the Ozarks that is both desolate and picturesque, words that might also suit WINTER'S BONE, Debra Granik’s tender and flinty adaptation of a novel of the same title by Daniel Woodrell. This is not a story about drugs and family life in a particular region of the United States - It is more deeply about tribal ties and individual choices, about a stubborn girl’s sense of justice coming into sharp and dangerous conflict with deep and intractable customs. In Ms. Lawrence’s watchful, precise and quietly heroic performance, Ree faces ethical demands that are at once entirely coherent and potentially fatal. After his last arrest, her father, Jessup, put up the family property - including the house where his wife and children live - as bond, and if he does not surrender soon, it will all be taken away. Jessup, however, is nowhere to be found, and Ree’s efforts to locate him leave her in a terrible dilemma. She must either betray the code of silence that keeps her extended family firmly and proudly on the wrong side of the law, or else face destitution. - A. O. Scott , New York Times
