Frozen River (2008)
A poor single mother decides to earn money by smuggling illegal immigrants into the US by way of a Mohawk reservation. Surprisingly, this does not work out well for her. This was the last of the Academy-Award nominated films that I needed to see (not counting docs and foreign films) and while nominated actress Melissa Leo was good, I think that she pales in comparison to the other four nominees (Angelina Jolie, Anne Hathaway, Meryl Streep, and Kate Winslet). It's definitely not a feel-good movie, especially when the economy is as it is.
My Netflix rating: 3 stars
