Frozen River (2008)

[Guest John Cougar Lunchbucket]

Poor white single trailer mom and local troubled Indian chick make unlikely partners in crime around the bingo parlors, dollar stores, reservations and frozen rivers of the NY/Canada border.

Good film. Gritty and well acted. Melissa Leo was the Best Actress counterpart to Mickey Rourke's performance in The Wrestler (not as physical, but as raw).

I had no idea she was up for an award. And I just watched the damn awards show.

Well how about that.

I thought the flick had some good hidden stuff (the whole Indian-White Man thing) but also, stuff that should have been developed more (their crimes).

I watched it Friday night. Liked it a lot. I liked that the scary stuff that you thought would happen and would have happened in other movies didn't.

(spoiler):











The place didn't catch on serious fire, the car didn't crash through the ice, the baby didn't die, they weren't arrested with that baby,etc.
