Hellacious Movies Movie Review: My disdain for the movie came down to it not being my cup of
tea! However that did not bode well with me after seeing another film (Gran Torino) that also had
subject matter that put me off! So that tells me its not the subject matter that ultimately put me
off on WINTERS BONE, it was how that subject matter was presented to me! Gran Torino did
not give me the choice of liking or disliking it, it was so well done I could not help but love it!
WINTERS BONE on the other hand gave me a ton of reasons to dislike it! I felt nothing for the
characters one way or the other! I could not relate to or connect with any of the characters!
The story remained nothing but a cold, emotionless story unworthy of any emotional investment on
my part! The only positive thing about the movie was a promising performance by Jennifer Lawrence!
