Ree (Lawrence) wanders through a cold rural county in the American South in search of her bail-jumping father. Ree's noble spirit stands tall as she battles the hostile and suspicious by means of words and wit. Her desperation is magnified by a ragged landscape littered with rusting cars and poverty burdened folk. Recommended. Rating: B+
