I watched this movie today after hearing an interview with the producer about her new movie Winter's Bones, which I can't wait to see. Down to the Bone started a bit on the choppy side and I wasn't sure I'd enjoy it. About 30 minutes in I was hooked. Vera Farmiga's acting is excellent and the supporting characters were all at least good. Vera has a certain quality that makes it hard to turn your eyes away from her,and interested in everything her character says and does. The soundtrack is great. The movie captured my attention for the last hour or so and as an earlier review said it did not glamorize the very real struggle of trying to recover from drug addiction.
