A very beautiful movie about a professor who returns home to his apartment in New York he hasn’t been for years. But the apartment is occupied by some strangers.
The story is great but sad, and the actor performance of Richard Jenkins is superb. Nominated for Oscar.
My rating: 8,5/10
Winter’s Bone (2010)
With an average rating of 8,1/10 at imdb, this movie is about the 17 year old Ree Dolly and her poor family. Her drug producing father is missing, and the local sheriff tells her that her father put up their house as collateral for his bail and unless he shows up for his trial in a week's time, they will lose it all. Now she starts on a long dark adventure trying to find him, but anywhere she goes the message is the same: stay out of it. She refuses to listen, even after her father’s brother Teardrop, tells her he is probably killed.
This dark sort of a fairytale reminds me a bit of The Road, only with more people in it. It’s the same grey atmosphere and similar sad, but suiting soundtrack. The acting is superb, the cinematography is great, and there are a lot of puzzles for the watcher. I wouldn’t be surprised if Winter’s Bone wins a lot of prizes.
My Rating: 8,5/10
