Dunno how "ripped from the front page" it is (I don't read newspapers from upstate NY) but Frozen River is certainly a human interest story that doesn't try to extract large truths from small events (if that's what you're into, see Body of Lies).
For some reason, after watching River, I wondered what Changeling might have been had Leo been cast instead of Jolie.
Certainly different, and I suspect, better.
