Writer and director Debra Granik delivers a powerful character study of a teenage girl caught between family obligations in this unflinching drama. Seventeen year old Ree Dolly has become unwillingly the parents to her younger siblings while her mother has totally withdrawn from her duties. While she hopes to join the military to escape her dire reality, she's forced to trace her father in the dangerous world of drug dealers in order to keep her family together. It's grim tale of a decaying society far from civilization where the nature is as unforgiving as its people. Jennifer Lawrence gives a raw performance as Ree Dolly along with John Hawkes as her uncle. Granik shows a different look of America that's seldom shown on film without any cliches or romanticism that's utterly compelling and disturbing at the same time. YRCinema's coverage of San Francisco International Film Festival.
