Hands

Winter's BoneYikes.  The world has more grit than I care to imagine.  Not fantastic acting.  Not fantastic directing but grit, serious quantities of it.  That's what makes the film worth watching.  There is enough gloss in the film world, enough tinsel and plenty of garbage.
What else does this movie have to offer?  Not much.  That's pretty much the whole deal.  Three examples:  One is the ass whooping delivered upon a 17 year old girl by a group of four forty something women,  two is the sawing off of human hands with a chainsaw and three is the skinning of a squirrel.
There you go.
