Movie Haiku:Beautifully made story about an Ozark teenager (Lawrence) on an epic American journey--wandering through folkloric landscapes--meeting people of mythic depth. Based on Daniel Woodrell’s 2006 source novel (adapted by Granik & Anne Rosellini), film works equally well in both dimensions: dreamlike yet totally true to its own specific time and place.
