User Reviews
Melissa Leo delivers an excellent performance.
Great movie, good themes. Very relevant.
Screenplay was better than I expected and Melissa Leo was great. Sometimes boring, but overall good enough for 3 stars
Dramatic thriller about two women who smuggle immigrants, many tense scenes where they make difficult choices, great performances all around
Slow but effective thriller-drama in an unusual setting. If you like „Winter’s Bone“, this is a good companion piece.
This movie was extremely depressing. I give it a 6/10.
Melissa Leo is excellent, but the film itself is merely good.
Just awful in every regard. White savior complex to the maximum
I don’t remember this movie! It was good though I think
Not my kinda movie
