Winter's Bone is not a classic Hollywood thriller- its an indi-film's telling of a tense, naturalistic thriller-type story.

I really like it, I was totally immersed in its story - a realistic slice of life in the Ozarks. A bleak look at hillbilly/redneck/gangster/family philosophy. Not only are outsiders considered suspicious, but so are the people inside their own clan - and they are treated just as harshly when they step out of line.

Also, it helped to see two of Deadwood's actors in the movie. I really like Deadwood. I also really like Justified, as well, which uses deadwood actors too, and is a bit like this movie - just more thriller-like.
