Winter's Bone
Opens Jul 2, 2010
Already one of the most successful Missouri movies of all-time, Winter's Bone is a critically-acclaimed thriller about life in the Ozarks. Ree Dolly (played by up-and-comer Jennifer Lawrence) is a strong 17-year-old who single-handedly takes care of her mother and two younger siblings. When Ree learns that her meth-dealing father has placed the family's cabin up for bond, she's forced to navigate the seedy criminal underworld in hopes of locating him. Based on a book by West Plains, MO cult author Daniel Woodrell, Winter's Bone is an authentic, chilling noir. "As a modern heroine, Ree Dolly has no peer, and Winter’s Bone is the year’s most stirring film." (David Edelstein, New York Magazine) Friday, July 2 only, come a little early to check out a live performance by Marideth Sisco, featured in the film, and stick around afterward for Q&A.
