Critical Score:  75

Starring:  Ben Foster, Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie

Director:  Debra Granik

This movie is highly rated on Metacritic (88), but for me it was a little slow and kind of depressing.  It is well acted and definitely reminds me of Debra’s Winter’s Bone with Jennifer Lawrence due to it’s scenes mainly performed outdoors in deep wooded areas.  Will and Tom live on state land where they are eventually found out and required to move to a legal arrangement in a small town.  Adjusting is hard and they are eventually on the move again due to the psychological needs of Will, however, Tom is losing interest in this constant moving and will have to make a decision for herself if she wants to break free of her fathers suffering – a suffering which she does not endure herself.
