I kept thinking of Frozen River when watching this. Both of these movies paint a very bleak picture in a similar setting, and both feature some great acting, but overall I liked the story in Frozen River better.

Still, it's a good movie definitely worth seeing once.

I liked Frozen River more also. I liked Winter's Bone quite a bit, but I think it is getting more accolades than it deserves. Jennifer Lawrence is great though.

Yep. Solid film, but not spectacular. Having grown up in small Oregon towns, it's easy for me to relate to small town settings like this.
