My take on Frozen River

At the Red Nation Film Festival, I finally saw Frozen River. If you've been following this blog, you've read several rave reviews of it. You've also read my "making of" article and interview with Misty Upham.

I'm afraid I have to register a dissent from all the hosannas of praise. I thought Frozen River was good but not great. Among recent Native-themed movies, I'd put it behind The Exiles, Imprint, Four Sheets to the Wind, and Mile Post 398.

Rob's rating:  7.5 of 10. For my full review, go to Frozen River.
