From my favorite movies..

It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Very difficult and unusual film ,about a girl who takes care of the sick mother, sister and brother. Her father is a drug dealer and he is killed. She is involved in all these events.

Short and Sweet Review by WubsTheFadgerThe acting all around is quite good. The exception is that of Jennifer Lawrence's character. I have never seen Jennifer as a good actress, she has a very boring, mellow, and dry acting style that gets old after a while. Some of her lines sounded like she was reading off of a page. Her character has no depth and she did not have any redeeming factors or qualities at all. The story is deathly slow. Most of the movie is very boring. The premise is good but the execution is bad. The story is not bad but it could have been handled a little bit better.The Ozark scenery is the only redeeming factor in this film. The cinematography is beautiful at times. Pros: Great cinematography, some good acting, interesting storyCons: Jennifer Lawrence's performance, a large amount of boring moments during the film, bad pacing, poor execution in regard to the storyOverall: 4/10

It is an ode to freedom, a good independent film uses, but the style uses.We should not be influenced to know how Jennifer Lawrence got the role, who did the casting twice, a good girl and did not take it for that and then came back without sleep two days and without bathing and was when they selected it, but is that great . I would say it was his best part.The movie comes to you. He catches you and will not let you go. It's one of those movies that you believe it all.The picture you have is great. It has a cold photograph, like everything that happens in the film. It counts, accompanies and is beautiful.The direction, although it is a little long, although it does not make nice plans, nor knows how to narrate with the camera, but it is very simple, but at least it has made a film that you like to see.It's a movie that will remain

This is the first review I have ever written because i felt that i have to do that. Not much to say about this movie. I saw a good rating in IMDb so i've expected a good movie, "4 nominations for Oscars and first nomination for Lawrence, sounds good", but why? Why its heaven nominated for the Oscars? It lacks any meaningful plot and is painfully slow. Since there was no development in anyone you don't really care and don't really know what matters. No climax at all with the catch "i told you so". I find it difficult to say anything positive about this movie... OK i have something to justify my 3...the not so bad performance by J.Lawrence. To resume, just a waste of time in my opinion
