A 17-year-old girl goes looking for her missing father when she finds out that the put their house up for collateral for his bail.  She is pretty sure her father is dead, and she must prove it in order to keep the police from taking her house.  She spends much of the movie interviewing a grusome group of meth addled characters.
This movie is a neo noir, I'd say.  The 17-year-old girl is the detective and the movie is pretty gritty.  The people in this film mostly look like methed up white trash.
I really loved this flick.  It is entertaining and engrossing.  Jennifer Lawrence was fantastic, and the supporting cast of character actors (or maybe real life meth heads? I don't really know) were also great.
This review is not very good, but I want to get it out of the way so I can watch a movie and don't forget to do this one.

9.5/10
