A teenager needs to hunt down her bail-jumping father.

Intense, without ever giving you the unpleasant feeling that an intensely bleak movie usually gives. It has the detached, matter-of-fact tone and delivery of an old Appalachian murder ballad - which is an impressive feat for a movie to pull off, absolutely perfect for these characters, and kind of awesome to watch. Reminds me of Cormac McCarthy, except with a plot.

Seventeen-year-old Ree Dolly sets out to track down her father who put their house up for his bail bond and then disappeared. If she fails to find him, she and her family will be turned out into the Ozark woods. Challenging her outlaw kin's code of silence and risking her life, Ree hacks through the lies, evasions, and threats offered up by her relatives and begins to piece together the truth.
