Never ask for what you ought to be offered. The movie has some very touching emotions about family ties and the dreadfulness of life. Jennifer Lawrence puts on such a wonderful performance that she overshadows everything in this movie. It felt like a one-person-show. There was a good amount of suspense, but it was a drama all along. The Missouri wilderness had a chilling effect in the movie. There were several moments where I felt the movie dragged, and stories like this don't have much repeat value.
Favourite scenes include: Squirrel hunting; the pond scene;
Alternate Ending: I don't know how the book ended, but when Teardrop said 'I know who', I got a sinking feeling that there was more pain coming this girl's way. I'd have dropped that bit.
First Viewed: Alone at Harborne in Parramatta.
Rating-2.5*
