Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

For Americans only

My danish wife, who could not relate to Winter's Bone, could also not relate to a family in which there was so much violence and regret was the only substitute for imprisonment. She refuses to believe that Ozark hill-billy culture can exist or that parents who beat their kids are not reported to the local government authorities. Her idea of a good movie is one where ordinary people deal with tragedy through quiet suffering, acted out in conversations among family and friends.

This was to me a movie about brutality with a trite, happy ending. I far preferred the ending of Dogville where those who brutalized the weak were held accountable for their actions by the machine-gun toting angels.

So did my wife.
