Winter's Bone is a 2010 American independent drama film, an adaptation of Daniel Woodrell's 2006 novel of the same name. Written and directed by Debra Granik, the film stars Jennifer Lawrence as a teenaged girl in the rural Ozarks of the central United States who, to protect her family from eviction, must locate her missing father. The film explores the interrelated themes of close and distant family ties, the power and speed of gossip, self-sufficiency, and poverty as they are changed by the pervasive underworld of illegal methamphetamine labs.
Winter's Bone won several awards including the Grand Jury Prize: Dramatic Film at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival. It also received four 2011 Academy Award nominations: Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor.

À la suite du la crise financière de 2008, James «Jimmy» Adams (James Lafferty) est mis à l'écart des premières lignes d'un fonds d'investissement, Alpha Managers. Après avoir répété pendant 6 ans le « mantra » de sa dernière compagnie (« Ce qu'on fait est légal, donc ce n'est pas immoral. Si c'était immoral, ce serait illégal. »), James Adams décide de décrocher un travail honnête et plus gratifiant. Après plusieurs tentatives infructueuses, Adams est embauché en tant que serveur sans qualification dans un diner : Papa's Chicken and Waffles, une chaîne de restaurants locale ouverte 24 heures sur 24 (le restaurant a été renommé dans les nouvelles versions du livre et dans le film). Le personnel de ce diner est hétéroclite : un responsable ne sachant pas concilier sa vie maritale et le milieu professionnel, des collaborateurs en majorité issus du monde carcéral, dont un cuisinier (Danny Glover) qui le surnomme sans cesse « Petit Jimmy » ou « Jimmy Jam ». Contrairement à ce qu'on pourrait penser, ce changement radical lui donnera les clés de la réussite sociale.

Daniel Balint is a former Jewish yeshiva student, brilliant but troubled, who is now a fanatically violent Neo-Nazi in New York in his early 20s. As a child, he often challenged his teachers with unorthodox interpretations of scripture. He once argued that the Binding of Isaac was not about Abraham's faith but God's power: that God did not want Abraham to accomplish a particular task but instead asks unquestioning obedience, which Abraham refuses to give. He concluded that God is a bully.
