That's the thing about Jennifer Lawrence. Her character is so hardened, so matter of fact, in "Winter's Bone" then she plays a character like this one...she blows me away.

I'm glad you two liked the flick. I was pretty excited about it when I saw it. I was just looking for a good movie to waste some time while my bathroom was being redone...I had no idea I was walking into a great movie. I mean, I looked at what was available and compared it with Wolf of Wall Street, online before I chose what to see...but I had no idea it was going to be such a great romp. I hate reviews of books or movies that use the word 'romp' but I'd be hard-pressed to think of a better one in this case.

Now Wolf is gone and last I looked it was nothing but crap at our theater. It's all superheroes or lone shooters or riding in cars with thugs. I want to see Her and Philomena and Wolf and Inside Llewyn Davis and August: Osage County, and Blue Jasmine, and...

I know the awards shows do not necessarily mark great films, but it's a good place to start looking, imho. Of course, I've got about 500 movies and my friends haven't heard of about half of them.
