And can I just say, as someone who is now living in the frozen north, that your description of how Hunt captured that cold, bleak, feel was just lovely, and apt as hell. Moving — safely and warmly — does become something of an effort, and that CRUNCH starts to drive you crazy, come March.

Here’s my secret wish: that in this economic freeze, some larger film distributor will see fit to put some big money behind this movie and push the bejeezus out of it. Or, whoever has it now (I’m really not in the industry loop!) will decide to do the same.

Loved Milk, Wrestler, etc., but when I recall Frozen River, I get — immediately — teary. It really touched something. Surely they can exploit that.

Thanks for doing justice to this film!
