Da er vinnerne fra årets Sundance-festival klare, og som vanlig er de filmene som har vært mest omtalt på forhånd totalt fraværende fra lista. Winter’s Bone av Debra Granik blir den store vinneren med både jury-prisen for beste drama og manusprisen. Filmen beskrives som en fjell noir og har fått svært gode kritikker, Noel Murray fra A.V. Club har følgende å si om filmen.
– Winter’s Bone never missteps as a crime movie or as a regional film; it has the feel of one of those small genre films of the ‘70s and ‘80s that came and went without much fuss, only to rediscovered by movie buffs decades later. My advice? Discover this one now.
