A teenager needs to hunt down her bail-jumping father.

Intense, without ever giving you the unpleasant feeling that an intensely bleak movie usually gives. It has the detached, matter-of-fact tone and delivery of an old Appalachian murder ballad - which is an impressive feat for a movie to pull off, absolutely perfect for these characters, and kind of awesome to watch. Reminds me of Cormac McCarthy, except with a plot.
