Frozen River
by Matti Kniva Spencer
Excellent movie with powerful performances by the entire cast. It takes place in Alaska and deals with real situations people are faced with in life... poverty, trying to advance in life, kids, nature, people of other races, etc... Worth buying and watching more than once.
5/5
Best movie of 2009
by EugeSchu (WI USA)
Strong and creative drama with a complex storyline, creative and quirky characters, comic, sentimental; a beautifully woven story that doesn't waste a second of screen time. Doesn't come off as pretentious, arrogant, or reaching at profundity. A fantastic screenplay that's as simply universal as it is personal and variegated.
Too bad movies like this are so hard to find. A treasure. Buy a copy and donate it to your local library.
5/5
Desperate Times
by G. E. Williams (California)
My sweetheart and I are usually so beat after a weeks work that our "Date Night" usually breaks down to holding hands while we put on a DVD. While I like a lot of different kinds of movies, my wife expects me to find amazing nuggets that she will like, that aren't sci-fi etc. Sometimes I get lucky.
I was perusing the idie films, and saw "Frozen River", and thought this might be another one. It is.
It is the moving story of two women who are without their husbands for very different reasons, fighting for their families in a world with few possibilities.
This like (another recent big budget film) "Changeling" is not sexy or entertaining, just a well acted moving story that will stick with you.
If you are looking for a moving drama the Indie movie "Frozen River" is just the ticket.
5/5
A Sundance Winner, a Fine Movie
by Marilyn Cobert (Knoxville, TN United States)
We found this DVD in the cheapie pile at Walmart and were attracted by its Sundance prize and its locale-an area where we once worked after college. We were very impressed by the film. It captured the despair of a mother trying to raise two sons after her husband gambled away the family's small savings and abandoned them. Add to that an Indian woman in trouble with her tribe and her in-laws who have her baby. The story of the two women and their attempt to solve their problems in any way they can has the ring of gritty reality. It was a real treat in these days of blood and guts, sci-fi, and cartoonish adventures.
4/5
review of FROZEN RIVER DVD.
by Mr. P. De-valmency (CLACTON, ESSEX)
THIS WAS QUITE A GOOD LITTLE FILM, NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING. IT HELD US ALL THE WAY THROUGH FROM START TO FINISH, UNLIKE SOME OF THE BUM NUMBERS THAT WE HAVE WATCHED RECENTLY. IT WAS ACTION ALL THE WAY WITH SOME SAD BITS, BUT OVERALL WAS VERY GOOD AND CAN HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.
Frozen River Summary
Two Destitute Single Mothers Form An Uneasy Partnership Transporting Illegal Immigrants Across The U.s./canadian Border. When Circumstances Spiral Alarmingly Out Of Control, They Make Life Or Death Decisions Base On Their Friendship & Love For Their Children. Melissa Leo Is Nominated For An Oscar.
When her husband runs off with the payment for their new home, Ray (Melissa Leo,
The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada
) turns to crime to keep herself and her two sons afloat. A chance encounter with Lila (Misty Upham,
Edge of America
), an equally desperate young Mohawk woman, leads Ray to smuggling illegal immigrants by driving across the frozen Hudson River onto tribal land. But with every trip, things go wrong in small and not-so-small ways, until Ray finds herself pushed into a more desperate corner than ever before. Leo delivers a gritty, restrained, but richly compelling performance; her raw face, beautiful but worn down by life, radiates a weary defiance.
Frozen River
has scenes as tense as any Hollywood thriller, but so grounded in the fully developed characters of these two women that the taut suspense grips the full spectrum of your emotions. This is an impressive debut by writer/director Courtney Hunt, featuring excellent supporting performances by Charlie McDermott (
The Ten
) as Ray's unhappy oldest son and Michael O'Keefe (
The Great Santini
) as a suspicious state trooper.
