Frozen River reminds me how blessed I am that I live in a country that allows me to watch the best of independent films every day...

Melissa Leo was of course amazing but Misty Upham just stole the show.

I am appalled by the beauty of the film and the story that is so novel and gritty. Courtney Hunt has held the film so coherently throughout. And with such powerful integrity of characters.

The Mohawk culture was so beautifully portrayed. I just loved it. The details on each character was so well observed.

I just wish there was a subtitle when the Pakis got out of the car so the people who do not speak Hindi or Urdu would understand the importance of the situation.

This one is a must see for anyone who loves good movies.
