The Tyee, along with Maple Pictures, a Canadian independent film company, wants to send you to the movies.
And it's a good one.
Winner of the 2010 Sundance Film Festival's Best Picture Grand Jury Prize and Best Screenplay Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award, Winter's Bone is a tense, naturalistic thriller that follows 17-year-old Ree Dolly as she confronts the local criminal underworld and the harsh Ozark wilderness in order to track down her father, who has put up the family homestead for his bail bond and then disappeared. If she fails, Ree and her family will be turned out into the Ozark woods. Challenging her outlaw kin's code of silence and risking her life, Ree hacks through the lies, evasions and threats offered up by her relatives and begins to piece together the truth.
The source material, Winter's Bone, the best-selling book by Daniel Woodrell, was selected as a New York Times' Notable Book of the Year.
Advance screening takes place Wednesday, June 23, at 7 p.m. In theatres for the general public Friday, June 25th.
