| Ray Eddy (Melissa Leo) and Lila (Misty Upham) in 2008 movie Frozen River |
Two hardened single mothers are trying to make lives for their children. Both single mothers are faced with desperate circumstances. A middle-aged mother played by Melissa Leo runs across a Native American woman, Lila Littlewolf. Both desperate mothers are drawn into the world of border smuggling across the frozen water of the St. Lawrence River, a Mohawk Indian reservation on the NY/Canadian border which survives on smuggling and human trafficking across the Canadian border.
The budget for this movie was somewhere between $500k and $1 Million and is both compelling and suspenseful. This story deals with a desperate mothers struggling with poverty and a paucity of choices in northern NY State.
This is an Excellent movie. Great entertainment, good acting-well thought out.
