Winter's Bone (2010)

Very disappointing. I didn't connect with it at all when I watched it, and found myself just coldly watching without really caring what happened to anyone in the movie. I couldn't even tell exactly what the movie wanted to do. Was it a story? A character study? A atmospheric piece? A message? None of those levels worked for me. My least favorite of this year's Best Picture nominees. 2.5 stars.
