Winter's Bone (DVD, 2010)

Some folks might enjoy watching a bunch of strangers wallowing in the filth that they themselves have created. I don't. I was hoping this was a movie about mountain folks like me and my relatives and our country lifestyle. It wasn't. Instead, it was about a bunch of "white trash" people who intentionally destroy their own lives through their own stupidity....and they just happened to be Ozark country folk. It's damned hard to feel any sympathy for the family when they themselves continually create the circumstances that the producers of this film want you to be in sympathy with them over. Does anyone really give a damn about the father when you find out that he has voluntarily dumped his own wife and children on the street all the while cooking up his precious meth? Does anyone really care if the mother has fried her brain on meth/crack to the point that she's a vegetable? These people are like the perpetual "homeless" guy on the city street corner....no matter how much *you* pour into helping him, he's going to be right there on that corner tomorrow and the next day and the next. You soon realize that his problems are for the most part self created. Eventually, you stop giving a damn.

If you want to watch a great movie about mountain kids living on their own standing up to the world, buy a copy of "Where the Lilies Bloom".

This movie was a really good movie. I had a hard time understanding at times - charaters seemed to mumble. The charaters seemed very beliveable which was scary (there probally are families like this living in the USA). Recommend this movie - a look into reality of drug use for the families prespective.

This movie description was really interesting but when I got into watching it, I got bored right away. This movie to me was a waste of my money. I don't know how they could have counted something in this movie for the movie rewards.

This is a very dark story, it was somewhat embarassing to be from Missouri and seeing us protrayed like that. I hope not everyone thinks everyone from Missouri is like that.
