After showcasing the talents of Jennifer Lawrence in Winter's Bone, director Debra Granik has given another complex role to a promising, upcoming actress. Thomasin Harcourt McKenzie plays the teenage daughter of Will (Ben Foster). Together, they live off the grid in a Oregon nature reserve. After being discovered and removed by the police, social services helps secure them a new home. But Will — suffering PTSD — cannot stay still for long, even if his daughter is becoming desperate to stop their continual wandering into the wilderness. It is a film that impressed audiences at Sundance earlier this year, and has since gone on to win prizes at other film festivals. — Michael
