| Box Office Ray Greene If the film’s dramatic engine is in genre, Granik’s unflinchingly environmental direction and the uniformly nuanced and truthful performances she gets from every member of a vast ensemble launches Winter's Bone so far past any notion of formula or precedent that comparison is a futile exercise. This film is a thing all its own. Granik, Lawrence and all their collaborators have created a movie that doesn’t just deserve to be seen. It deserves to endure. | 18 | |
| Chicago Sunday Times Roger Ebert | 20 | |
| eye Weekly Adam Nayman The film’s second half, which elides predictable violent confrontation in favour of more poetic digressions — and features a smart, incredibly even-handed scene with a US Army recruiter — suggests filmmaking smarts. | 10 |  |
| Rolling Stone Peter Travers Every once in a rare while a movie gets inside your head and heart, rubbing your emotions raw. The remarkable Winter's Bone is just such a movie. Winter's Bone is unforgettable. It means to shake you, and does. | 18 | |

| Rottentomatoes tomatometer Tomatometer Bleak, haunting, and yet still somehow hopeful, Winter's Bone is writer-director Debra Granik's best work yet -- and it boasts an incredible, starmaking performance from Jennifer Lawrence. | 19 | |
