Awful movie where the characters are cartoonishly evil and stupid

Born in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Granik grew up in the affluent suburbs of Washington D.C. She is of Jewish descent.[1] She received her B.A. from Brandeis University in 1985, where she majored in politics and became very interested in documentary film, democratic media, and feminism. After graduation, Granik started making educational films for trade unions. She later earned an MFA from the graduate film program at New York University (Tisch School of the Arts).

"There are moments in the harshly beautiful Winter’s Bone in which the characters are so deeply, unfathomably mean in response to a 17-year-old girl’s pleas to find her father (or at least his body) that we search their faces for a glimmer of sympathy, kinship—anything human. Some filmmakers (say, Michael Haneke or Lars von Trier) would settle for their masks of indifference or malevolence... This director, Debra Granik, doesn’t let the actors go dead: There is movement, barely perceptible, under the surface. Some vein of compassion, however thin, must be down there. Somewhere."
