Hits

• Jennifer Lawrence as the lead Ree Dolly, plays out a very bold and serious role convincingly with her body language.
• The climax sequence where Ree finds out her father’s body under a lake is chilling.

Misses

• Slow moving.

VERDICT

Watch-able once. The movie gets better as time passes and the climax is good.
