New York Magazine (Vulture)David Edelstein

For all the horror, it's the drive toward life, not the decay, that lingers in the mind. As a modern heroine, Ree Dolly has no peer, and Winter's Bone is the year's most stirring film.

Time OutJoshua Rothkopf

Again, Granik has foregrounded a bold woman, expertly balanced between fearlessness and Ree's own private nervousness.

Entertainment WeeklyLisa Schwarzbaum

One of the unshowiest and most true-blooded epics of Americana you're ever likely to see.

The A.V. ClubKeith Phipps

Granik has no taste for noir archness, opting for a chilly, shot-on-decaying-locations naturalism that feels as lived-in as Lawrence's performance.

Boxoffice MagazineRay Greene

Winter's Bone so far past any notion of formula or precedent that comparison is a futile exercise. This film is a thing all its own.

VarietyJustin Chang

Raw but utterly enveloping.

Rolling StonePeter Travers

Winter's Bone is unforgettable. It means to shake you, and does.

Village VoiceNo Title

In the end, the most interesting aspect of this quiet, sometimes frustrating, sometimes thrilling film is the way it teases out the intricate power structures that flourish even in as godforsaken (and lovely) a place as the Ozarks.

The Hollywood ReporterJohn DeFore

Grim backwoods tale takes its time building momentum.

AFI Awards, USA2011

2011 Winner AFI Award, (WINTER'S BONE is a chilling portrayal of the search for truth buried deep beneath the bitter reality of rural poverty in America. Haunting in its authenticity, director and co-writer Debra Granik's film is part Ozarks gothic, part Shakespearean tragedy, and all American independent filmmaking. Jennifer Lawrence creates one of America's strongest female protagonists of the year with a wondrous debut performance as a woman on a relentless quest to provide a future for her family.)
