Movies Like "The Hunger Games": "Winter's Bone"

Did you know Jennifer Lawrence was nominated for an Oscar before she became a household name in "The Hunger Games"? Early in her career, Lawrence gave an Oscar-worthy performance in the harrowing film "Winter's Bone" as Ree Dolly, a teenager living in the Ozarks who has to take care of her younger siblings in place of her absent parents. When she learns her father plans to sell the house and disappears, Ree goes on a journey to find him. Ree shares a deep dedication to protecting her younger siblings with Katniss, who infamously volunteered as tribute when her little sister Primrose was selected for the Games. No wonder J Law knocked the role out of the park!
