Winter’s Bone
The critically acclaimed thriller that has kept audiences and critics on the edge of their seats this summer will make its debut on DVD, Blu-ray Disc, Digital Download and On Demand this fall from Lionsgate. Based on the novel by Daniel Woodrell, Winter’s Bone stars Jennifer Lawrence (The Burning Plain) in a star-making performance that’s been called “mesmerizing” (Entertainment Weekly). Co-starring John Hawkes (HBO’s “Deadwood”), the tension-filled drama follows a teenage girl (Lawrence) who sets off on a danger-filled journey through rural Missouri to find her missing father. Hailed as “one of the year’s best films” (Roger Ebert), Winter’s Bone rates an impressive 95% “Fresh” rating on Rotten Tomatoes (as of 7/28/10) and was the Grand Jury Prize winner at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. The DVD and Blu-ray Disc contain deleted scenes, an audio commentary, a “making-of” featurette, alternate opening, and a music video.
After her deadbeat father jumps bail and mysteriously disappears, 17-year-old Ree Dolly must find a way to track him down or she’ll be left without a home or custody of her two young siblings. To avoid losing everything, Ree must hack through the lies and threats looming everywhere in her rural town to piece together the dangerous truth about her father – without getting herself killed – in this taut, pulse-pounding thriller.
