About the Movie Down to the Bone on DVD:
Much admired by festival juries and critics, this low-budget drama earned awards at Sundance for first-time director Debra Granik and lead actress Vera Farmiga. Set in winter in upstate New York, the story centers around Irene (Farmiga), an unhappily married mother of two who works as a grocery clerk. When Irene realizes she needs to deal with her cocaine addiction, she goes to rehab and Narcotics Anonymous meetings, only to face a new set of problems. The film avoids clichés and has the feel of authenticity.
