I am glad I was in a good mood watching, this, bleak, barren,cold movie; otherwise I would have hated it.
Nearly every scene is cold & depressing, besides not liking any of the people,I found the story not very realistic.
The acting is OK, done by a competent cast & for a movie whose budget as only One Million Dollars, the production values were OK.
Melissa Leo was nominated for an Oscar,suffering mothers do get award nominations.
Give me bright sunny warm weather films, with warm friendly people, They can have deep serious problems as long as there are a few in the cast that I can root for.
There was no one I could root for in Frozen River.
I do not need happy endings I need to care for the people in the movie.
