Good film, though a little hard to watch

A pretty good movie about two women who are both on hard economic times that form a business friendship smuggling illegal immigrants across the Canada-U.S. border. A good script and strong characterization from everyone, particularly Melissa Leo, who carries this film. It's a pretty bleak view on life, and I have to admit the ending was a little surprising, not ending quite the way I would have liked, but if you're looking for a well-acted indie, this is a good one to check out. There were times I forgot I was watching a movie and seemed like I was watching something real.
