Best Picture of the Year

I don't get to (or choose to) watch every movie that comes out every year. But I just saw a film that is easily the best one I've seen this year: Winter's Bone. Bleak and beautiful, it tells a story of a seventeen-year-old with the weight of the world on her shoulders. Her plight and how she handles it are captivating, and the cast of unknowns is perfect in this setting. Highly recommended.
