Journal #4: Winter's Bone

This movie is different from most right off the bat. Most movies have pre-credits but this one starts right into the movie with two children jumping on a trampoline. Ree Dolly, played by Jennifer Lawrence, is trying to support not only her severely depressed mother but her two siblings due to her father,Jessup, being absent. Ree finds out when the sheriff stops by that her father is out on bond and put up their house and land up for his bond. Jessup's trial is in a week and if he's a no-show Ree and her family will lose everything. So Ree sets out on the near impossible task of tracking down her father. Risking her life and challenging her families code of silence, she tries to sort through the lies. To find out how this movie ends you will just have to go out and rent it. This movie is rated R for drug material, language, and violent content.
