Directed by Debra Granik / Written by Debra Granik and Anne Rosellini
Jennifer Lawrence and John Hawkes just went up to my list of favourite actors. Lawrence was especially brilliant in her acting followed by a convincing crew of supporting actors.
Yet the true strength of this movie is not only in its leading actress. Explaining as little as possible it paints a breathing picture of the reality of the southern states of USA, focusing on fickle tones of humanity instead of the landscape it could have so easily used to fill in the gaps. This movie grasped something essential about the everyday lives of these people as well as the bigger issues they have to face. I never saw a glimpse of this shiny reality I live in, and I loved getting the chane to plunge into a whole new world of people, a reality so strange yet recongnizable. Well written, well directed.
PS. I loved Cupcake and Brownie. So witty of you, oh writers!
