Review of Frozen River (2008) by Bill S — 01 Jan 2016

I liked the film. I'm always a little skeptical about these indie films, but I remember Melissa Leo getting a lot of accolades and she was truly worthy of them. The movie was surprisingly interesting -- dealing with a Native American woman who in her "spare" time, smuggled people illegally from the Canadian border and thru the reservation.

Great performance by Melissa Leo and Misty Upham (may she rest in peace) was OK as well. Very real, gritty at times and also sad at times.
