Winter's Bone (2010)

Bleak as hell, but damn is it gripping. Life here is ugly and hostile, but it's a place I didn't want to leave. It's easy to see why J Law generated so much buzz: she has the toughest role in the movie, but she delivers it with exceptional confidence and control. A modern gem.
