He was arrested because of drug production, and his father who was still on bail suddenly disappeared. There was only a half-mad mother and younger siblings in the family, and he was just a 17-year-old underage girl. The parole officer has one week to find the father, whether alive or dead. Otherwise, the government will confiscate the home as collateral and drive the whole family out of the house. What should she do? At the beginning of the film, it throws a topic that even adults find difficult and embarrassing. The father was gone, and the conditioned reflex should be to ask close relatives and friends, so the girl played by "big cousin" Jennifer Lawrence began this difficult journey to find her father. The background of the story takes place in Missouri, a barren and desolate village in the American Midwest. The shared last name is a reminder of the group's kinship. But this fragile relationship is colder than the gloomy winter. In this poor and barren land, most people make a living by making drugs, and they are inextricably linked. The girl asked all her relatives at the door, but she was ignored and looked down upon. Most of the male masters choose to avoid seeing her, and the woman who greets her is unfriendly. What happened to my father, where did he go, and faced with the girl's questioning, some people were walking strangely, some were silent, and most of them were cold-eyed silence. Looking for his father, he got into a dead end. From her father's lover and some other fragmented information, the girl suddenly realized that her father, who had been in the underworld for many years, might be in big trouble this time. He became an informant for the police, and after the incident was exposed, he was dealt with by this ethnic group with "family law". This is no news in the industry. My father has disappeared in the past few weeks and is probably dead. The adults saw that a series of coaxing and coaxing did not scare her, and in the face of the girl's questioning, their answers were surprisingly consistent. So far, you don't ask any more, and if you continue to ask, there is no guarantee what will happen to you. It's too late to be sad, it's too late for me. The death of her father has become insignificant to her, and she is more concerned about how to keep the house that supports her family's life. She has to go back and forth between continuing to find the truth and hiding it from the police. She has to take on the responsibility of being the head of the family, she has to take care of her mother who is in and out of her mind, and hunt and cook for her hungry siblings. The seventeen-year-old A young girl, she showed amazing precociousness and tenacious mental strength. The 2010 film, when the eldest cousin was only twenty years old, was not well-known, this film is her famous work. As a rookie actor, her character "Ree" in the play showed a tenacious and calm temperament when she was alone in dealing with the cruel and ferocious side of life when her family was destroyed. Firm eyes, true feelings Rustic and surprising. (With this outstanding performance, she was nominated for Best Actress at the 83rd Academy Awards, but lost to Natalie Portman, who was also excellent in "Black Swan") , Annoying the leader, the women came up to beat and kick her, and she fell in the blood and gasped. After she was beaten, she still struggled to find her father's whereabouts, and begged, I only want a result, I don't need to know who killed her. This kind of stubbornness and sadness finally allowed the leaders to sympathize with her, and only then did they tell where the corpse was hidden. At the back is the climax of the whole play. Under the guidance of the leader's wife, the girl found her father's body in the icy lake. On the one hand, in order to continue to hide the truth, on the other hand, in order to prove to the police that the man was dead, he had to cut off his father's hands as evidence. How much suffering and strength does it take for a young girl to do this? In order to live, she has nowhere to go. Usually, the preconceived notion thinks that such dark and terrifying things often happen in the riotous South America or in the slums of black people, which are all filthy places. But the protagonists of the story are all white people, contrary to the splendor in the usual film and television works, the naked poverty and backwardness, the same roughness and barbarism, without the trouble of foreigners, and without the troubles of overseas immigrants. This is the sin of white people to the core. This is a rare, black-and-white independent film, and I have to say that the director is very bold and forceful. At the end, it also reveals the slightest affection and complex hatred, the uncertain and elusive tomorrow. Everyone's performances are very natural, the bad guys and the good guys alternate back and forth at certain moments, and there is no label. The unique temperament of the eldest cousin makes this movie, which seems to be slow and dull, has its sweet taste when it is carefully evaluated.
