Director: Debra Granik | 2010 | 100 min
“The freezing winter of Missouri’s Ozark region. 17-year-old Ree struggles desperately to protect her sick mother and young siblings. One day, she learns that her father, arrested for cooking meth, has disappeared while on bail, and the house used as collateral will be seized. Before her family ends up on the streets, she must find her father—risking her life in a closed community ruled by poverty and violence to track him down. Jennifer Lawrence’s overwhelming performance depicts a story of survival and family love. A shocking independent film that coldly reflects the hidden reality of American poverty.”
