Frozen River (2008)Frozen River is a painfully realistic and tense crime drama about a struggling single mother who ends up partnering with a Mohawk woman in a smuggling scheme to bring illegal immigrants into America. Mellisa Leo delivers a desperate but tough performance, you really can't help but root for her as she sacrifices for her family. Each of the characters are well written, which makes the suspense of the crime scenes all the more effective. 
The bleak setting, powerful story and rich characters make Frozen River one memorable and powerful drama. You'll like it if: You like films with strong female leads, films about families, films about Native Americans, Babel or The Visitor.
