FINALLY! "Bernie" is a movie worth watching

Bernie (9) got me back to the theater. Glad I went (for a change.)

Frozen River

Rating: 6 out of 10

Starring: Melissa Lee, Misty Upham

Genre: Adult Drama


This movie was a prize winner at Sundance. Two down and out women cross paths that lead to an operation smuggling immigrants from Messena, NY across the frozen St. Lawrence River to Canada.

Watching this movie is like seeing a runaway train hurling down the tracks with a car stalled at the next intersection. The story is well told, and although depressing, an absorbing drama. However, it's unlikely to be a big winner at the box office.
