Meth is awesome, but the people who make meth are awesomer!
Nominated for:
Best Picture
Best Supporting Actor - John Hawkes
Best Actress - Jennifer Lawrence
Best Adapted Screenplay - Debra Granik & Anne Rosellin
Gripping, mesmerizing, and elegant.
This is by far the best film of the lot, though I doubt it will actually win any Oscars. Deadwood fans will be glad to spot some favourites - including best supporting actor nominee John Hawkes (A.K.A. Sol Star). Plus, newcomer Jennifer Lawrence has got a stare that'll bore a hole clean through your skull.
The most amazing part of this movie is the character development, especially that of the absentee father. Every moment, every fame, every word (the ones spoken and the ones left unspoken), packs a wallop of information that hits you in the brain and the gut simultaneously. And given that Jennifer Lawrence has already put a hole through your head, by the time this movie is over you've basically been reduced to a puddle of bloody goo.
Seriously. It's riveting. A must see.
