Winter's Bone(2010)
Seventeen-year-old Ree Dolly sets out to track down her father, who put their house up for his bail bond and then disappeared. If she fails, Ree and her family will be turned out into the Ozark woods. Challenging her outlaw kin's code of silence and risking her life, Ree hacks through the lies, evasions and threats offered up by her relatives and begins to piece together the truth.

Granik and DP Michael McDonough have cast this film in a variety of grays and pale blues, and even fleshtones appear desaturated. The entire film in fact seems virtually one step away from black and white. That gives things a stark, often oppressive, beauty, but it also means that some detail is lost, especially in the film's many dark scenes. Outdoor shots fare best here, where the natural lighting allows good depth of field and some excellent fine detail in close-ups. The many interior shots, which similarly seem lit naturally a lot of the time, are clad in a lot of shadow and intentional murkiness and the low contrast means backgrounds just kind of disappear if they're not even minimally lit. That actually helps to give this film its claustrophobic ambience, but some hi-def aficionados will no doubt take the Blu-ray to task for this situation, when it was obviously an intentional choice by Granik and her DP. Winter's Bone Blu-ray, Audio QualityWinter's Bone offers a very subtle, yet insistently immersive, lossless DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track that benefits both from the ambient environmental sounds which populate the soundtrack, as well as the gorgeous and haunting traditional folk music which is used both as underscore and, occasionally, onscreen as well. For a film this deliberately small and ostensibly quiet (despite bouts of violence), the DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 track offers a wealth of nice ambient noises, especially as Ree makes her way through hill and dale. The crackling of fire, leaves rustling in the wind and other sounds of the woods fill the surrounds quite invitingly. There's also a nice differentiation in reverb and overall ambience between the outdoor and indoor segments. When things do turn toward violence, this track supports the increased dynamics effortlessly, and the infrequent, though very frightening, use of LFE also is handled very well. This isn't an overtly showy track by any means, but like the film itself, it works its subliminal spell incredibly effectively. Winter's Bone: Other Editions
