Before Jennifer Lawrence became one of the world’s most successful actors, she hinted at her talent in this unforgettable, stark, Ozark-set film about family, survival and quiet heroism.

As Ree Dolly, she is the eldest child who cares for her two young siblings in place of her dysfunctional parents. When her drug-dealing father skips bail, she sets out to find him, for the sole purpose of holding onto the house, which he posted as collateral.

Fierce, determined, proud, believing that people will do the right thing, Ree makes her way through the poverty-stricken landscape, driven by unstinting hope.
