WINTER’S BONE Earns Top Gotham Film Award

WINTER’S BONE is a powerful story set within, and was filmed around the Missouri Ozarks. It’s been a personal favorite of my from 2010 and for many film critics as well. The cast, the direction and the music are all authentic and the entire experience is based in simplicity and reality. Without further indulgence, I recommend reading my review of the film for more information, or just take a leap of faith and watch this incredible film and make your own decision.
