				Why watch this? 
				Man, life is rough if you're poor and live in the 
				Ozark Mountains. 
				Plot Summary: In the 
				poverty-stricken Ozark Mountains, 17-year-old Ree Dolly cares 
				for her younger siblings and mentally ill mother. When she 
				learns their house was put up for bail by her drug-dealing 
				father, who is now missing, she must find him before the family 
				loses their home. Facing a community bound by a code of silence, 
				Ree navigates treacherous terrain and confronts dangerous 
				relatives in her desperate search for answers. Dad's Preview: 
				Jennifer Lawrence - damn - she can act... like "move-over-Meryl" 
				act. Here she stars as a 
				hard-scrabble Ozark teen, Ree Dolly, who is trying to find her 
				missing father to keep from being evicted. She also has to care 
				for her two younger siblings and mentally ill mother. In 
				desperation, she starts asking questions. There is 
				resistance from everyone, especially her hillbilly 
				relatives. These tight-lipped folks (because of nearby meth 
				labs) don't like questions, even from family. Lawrence simply 
				dominates the screen as she fights, completely alone, to keep her family 
				safe.
