This woman actually got nominated for best actress. The movie is a dud. Poor, down & out, trailor lodgers, rotton employer, overbearing teenager, lying, stealing Indian - what else could hollywood break your back with? This isn't…

Hands down, one of the most depressing movies I've seen in a long time. It is a testament to single mothers who struggle to survive and take care of their children without any help.

This is a bit sad story but there is a hope in the ending. Many scenes impressed me quite a lot, e.g., I was worried about what the older brother was going to face for the thing he did, but it turned out... well.. you'll know if you watch…

This is a pretty good, small film from the US (no, it is not a Canadian production as some has suggested), about a single mother struggling to make ends meet while attending her two children, whom she cared much about. Resorting to human…

Interesting film - good performances all around. Low budget but high quality project. Good commentary by the director, adds to the details of what it took to get this film made.

A not quite believeable story of the lenghts people will go to when their money is gone.

A Canadian movie that suprised me. I saw this at the Bytowne cinema several years ago and decided to rent it again recently. Well written story. Patience is required as the story unfolds slowly. A very quiet location is the backdrop for…

Melissa Leo gives a bravada performance. Not to be missed. She was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance and after seeing the DVD no question that she should have won

Graceful, unusual social-realism piece showing slices of life on a Mohawk reserve near the Canada-U.S. border. I related strongly to its two main characters--partly because of magnificent performances by Melissa Leo & Misty Upham, &…

A terrific story of risk and love of family in a terrifying setting.
