Only two notable titles this week. Don't watch them one after the other though, not unless you're in a really good mood...
Winter's Bone - A teen goes out in search of her criminal father after his debts threaten the foreclosure of her home.An incredibly bleak portrayal of family life in rural America with a winning script and excellent acting, particularly from Hawkes and a then-unknown Lawrence.
The Secret In Their Eyes - Many years after an unsolved brutal murder, the lawyer in charge of the case begins a memoir about it in order to find closure but instead finds himself looking at new facts relating to it. A riveting drama/thriller from Argentina that is brought to live by a solid script and human characters.
