What Frozen River Is About
Left with two children after her husband takes the money and goes, a woman starts smuggling people across a frozen river with a neighbour. The river forms the border between two countries and part of it belongs to Native land. The film sets up the crime as necessity rather than moral choice; the narrative sustains the distrust between the two women to the end. The snow is never made beautiful. Courtney Hunt wrote and directed, with Melissa Leo and Misty Upham. It won the grand jury prize at Sundance. A real warning: there is a scene in which children are put in danger, and the consequences of people smuggling. The ending is heavy.
