winter's bone

So I watched 2010's critically acclaimed redneck flick "winter's bone." So was it good, well I say does a toad bump its ass when it jumps, in other words hell yeah! I really liked this movie. The story is simple enough some inbred family's pa has gone missin' in the Ozarks, and his daughter done need to find him before she lose da' house to da' bail bondsman. This story is a well written effort that takes us through the twists and turns of life far away from the city or even the suburbs. This is a place where kids know the answer to the question "how do you want that squirrel cooked?", and don't no one ever talk to da' poh-lice (something I personally recommend). The movie is well cast and acted, with much of the typecast hillbilly's of SAG doing a great job of kind of being themselves (or at least the types of characters they usually portray). This is a movie about navigating through choppy social waters, and understanding backwoods custom. I think this movie should have broad appeal and should at least get an "I liked this flick" from most people whatever their personal tastes.
