Its been ages since my last film blog update, but i figured since i've started studying film now at university it would be a good time to start again :)!
Last night, after the unfortunate selling out of french animation, "The Illusionist", i went to see "Winters Bone", based on the novel of the same title by Daniel Woodrell.
The film follows a teenage girl and her struggle to raise her younger siblings and ill mother after her fathers dissaperance. When the ownership of her house comes under threat, she tries to find her father, but the people in her town aint the nicest people and she ends up in a lot more trouble than she thought.
Personally, i thought the film was a little slow and depressing. There wasn't alot of dialogue, or action, but i guess that only portrayed the girls life more realistically. Visually, the film was beautiful and really inspiring. The colours were a muted colour palette, and the shots were directed perfectly.
Overall i think i give this film 6/10. Id recommend seeing it, and wouldnt pass up a second viewing if i spotted it on tv :)
