Movie Haiku:Jan loves this story of 2 working class women (one white, one Native American) falling into smuggling across the Canadian border, & she suffered with them EVERY mile. Alas, for Rich excellent elements don''''t cohere into compelling narrative, but we both agree Academy members should remember Leo @ Oscar time.
