Nominated for four Academy Awards\u00ae including Best Actress (Jennifer Lawrence) and Best Picture, Debra Granik\u2019s powerful film concerns a teenage girl caught up in a blood feud while searching for her missing father in Missouri\u2019s eerie Ozark Highlands. The film has also been nominated in the categories for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Supporting Actor (John Hawkes).

\u201cIt’s a film full of mounting tensions and an atmosphere of dread and incipient terror that will make you uncomfortably familiar with the edge of your seat,\u201d writes Allan Jones in Uncut \u201cwhich is where you’ll mostly watch it from.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gryphon will provide fulfillment on behalf of content partner Curious Film. To date, Winter\u2019s Bone continues an exceptional theatrical run having compiled nearly $550K at the Australian box office.<\/p>\n
Curious Film director Michael Wrenn expects acknowledgments from the Golden Globe and Academy Awards coupled with its critical reception and strong performance at the box office both overseas and locally to enhance the title\u2019s profile at home entertainment. \u201cFor an independent film made on a limited budget it is a great achievement,\u201d he said. \u201cCurious are looking to be able to take on strong dramatic stories and feature films that larger companies and independents see as requiring too much in the way of specialist handling and bringing these to the market place.\u201d<\/p>\n
Glenn Elliott Gryphon Managing Director said Curious Film added another dimension to the Gryphon catalogue. \u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to be working with Curious Film and excited by the overwhelming response Winter\u2019s Bone has triggered in audiences all over the country,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
