Struggling against finding her father, Ree Dolly, a young teenager courageous girl, who after the disappearance of her father, does her best to keep her family together, but when a sheriff told her that her father puts their house at a bond, her life turns upside down, as she goes to find him.
Beneath the fierce naturalism of the stark chilly/beautiful imagery and tough performances is a rural noir in an unforgiving world and Granik tells the story with great skill.
In moments of confrontation [Jennifer Lawrence's Ree] is as fearsome as Sigourney Weaver in Aliens, taking on monsters to protect the small and the vulnerable.
