Director Debra Granik previously made
Down to the Bone (which launched Vera Farmiga) and
Winter's Bone (which launched Jennifer Lawrence). Her new movie is her first documentary, about a Vietnam vet named Ron "Stray Dog" Hall. It's called
Stray Dog, and it's quite lovely. (Incidentally, it would make a fine double-feature with
Rich Hill, and not just because they're both set in Missouri.) My review of
Stray Dog is up at
Screen International.
