8.5/10
Surprisingly great, unheard of little movie I saw on a whim in the theatres. A 17-year old girl has to take care of her invalid mother and two siblings, living in this destitute loghouse in a barren, sparsely populated village. Her methhead father puts the house up as bond, so the girl has to either find her father or proof of his demise in order to keep supporting her family. Jennifer Lawrence as the girl is the movie and gives a fantastic performance, and the movie is consistently tense as she undertakes a brutal, undesirable journey with an inevitable ending. I thought the emotion was lacking a bit but otherwise, really good.
