A desperate single mother living in upstate New York resorts to smuggling illegal immigrants into the United States as a means of making ends meet in first-time feature director/screenwriter Courtney Hunt's emotionally wrenching drama, winner of the Grand Jury Prize for Best Dramatic Feature at the 2008 Sundance Film Festival. Ray Eddy is in an impossible position; it's two days before Christmas and her husband has suddenly disappeared with all of the family savings. Now, as the newly single mother of two realizes the futility of attempting to cover the house payments on her meager Yankee One Dollar Store wages, her children are forced to exist on a nutritionally devoid diet of popcorn and Tang. Deciding that her only hope for survival is to find a man who will support her and her children, Ray sets out to find a husband but instead makes the acquaintance of street-smart Mohawk Lila Littlewolf. Lila, too, has been struggling to keep her head above water amidst economic despair, and has recently stumbled across a rather unconventional solution to her dire financial situation. Lately, Lila has been earning a living by smuggling illegal immigrants into the U.S., but her tribal elders vehemently disapprove of the scheme and have recently attempted to stop it by forbidding the local auto dealers from selling her a car. As fate would have it, Ray's Dodge Spirit may just be the only thing the destitute mother can count on anymore, and as this unlikely pair gas up the tank for a daring dash across the iced-over St. Lawrence River, their fates become forever intertwined in ways that neither could have ever anticipated. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Some New Trailer For Frozen River
New Review For Movie Frozen River
Occasionally marred by contrivance and a crude internal logic that doesn't bear close scrutiny, 'Frozen River' works best as a knuckle-gnawing, blue-collar genre thriller.David Jenkins-Time Out
Frozen River let me forget I was watching a movie, something that didn't happen often in 2008.
Mark Bourne-Film.com
There are moments of poetry on display.
Rene Rodriguez-Miami Herald
It moves and it heals, finding hints of redemption in the jagged face of life.
Amy Biancolli-Houston Chronicle
The miracle of filmmaker Courtney Hunt's tense, carefully understated debut is that it is made better by its few flights of fancy.
Stephen Cole-Globe and Mail
Frozen River isn't just a good movie made by a woman; it's a good movie on anyone's terms, one of the year's best. To find hope beneath this ice, in this ugly terrain, is to dream big.
Tom Long-Detroit News
A pair of border-town losers come to represent everyone who's ever been up against it in this country, especially the women.
Kelly Vance-East Bay Express
Melissa Leo's Oscar-nominated performance as a mother not above illegal business, but resolutely clinging to honesty and not giving into hypocrisy, is terrific. Hope comes from hard sacrifice in a finale proving sometimes possessions are our blessings.
Nick Rogers-Suite101.com
Hunt's weakness for contrivance and underlined points threaten to elbow out her sensitivity
Fernando F. Croce-CinePassion
Courtney Hunt's low-budget blue-collar thriller, Frozen River, is one of the most impressive feature debuts of the past several years.
Philip French-Observer [UK]
Actress Melissa Leo rightly earned an Oscar nomination for her part in this downbeat drama.
David Edwards-Daily Mirror [UK]
Frozen River is a taut, suspenseful thriller; a troubling of borders both cultural and national; and testament to the virtues of communion, empathy and compassion.
Emma Paterson-Little White Lies
Original, sad, suspenseful and involving: the kind of work that helps independent American cinema retain its good name.
Angie Errigo-Empire Magazine
Leo and Upham give performances of great conviction and the film is bold and uncliched: especially the matter-of-fact treatment of guns.
Peter Bradshaw-Guardian [UK]
It's Leo, with her pained and battered magnetism - half-pleading, half screw-you - who shakes the film out of its occasional glibness, notching up the performance of her career in thrilling, hungry style.
Tim Robey-Daily Telegraph
Everything about the film looks and feels authentic, from the desolate landscape dotted with trailers and fast-food joints to the people who populate a borderland that offers none of them much hope.
Derek Malcolm-This is London
A fascinating, understated look at the human condition.
Ben Rawson-Jones-Digital Spy
Cold yet never calculating, it's a fine film featuring a heart-rendingly knockout performance of steel and strength from Leo.
Tim Evans-Sky Movies
Leo and Upham make an unlikely double act in a finely written, well-played film with a striking plot and setting. Hunt's clearly a name to watch; Leo, meanwhile, can look forward to finally getting the recognition, and roles, she deserves.
Neil Smith-Total Film
As a quiet celebration of ordinary women's resourcefulness, the film is well-crafted, sensitively acted and modestly affecting.
Christopher Tookey-Daily Mail [UK]
While there is much to admire, there is little to enjoy as downtrodden folk try to make money the hard way. At heart it is a sentimental drama that rarely connects.
Mark Adams-Sunday Mirror [UK]
Frozen River will penetrate your core like a biting Arctic wind.
-Sun Online
Early scenes have a raddled power. Later ones slip into a Chistmastide slush of contrivance and redemption.
Nigel Andrews-Financial Times
A modest but thrilling drama.
Anthony Quinn-Independent
Frozen River represents one of the best examples of the new trend for austerity and social realism in American indie cinema.
Wendy Ide-Times [UK]
