Rent Frozen River ASAP

"Frozen River," now available on DVD, is one of the great movies of 2008, winning both a lead actress Oscar nomination for Melissa Leo and an original screeplay bid for writer/director Courtney Hunt. It's rare to watch a feature film and mistake it for a documentary, but such are the skills of rookie filmmaker Hunt and her extraordinary actresses Leo and Misty Upham, that I felt that I was in the skin and the shoes of these Upstate New York single moms making a living in the underground economy. Because the film was released during the summer dog days, many missed "Frozen River" when it was in theaters.
