Positive and negative power

Watching this film in a class that reflects the action and reaction of the characters is very touching.
The female director is directing a feature film for the first time, and her previous occupation was a lawyer, and the director’s husband is the person where the story takes place. Therefore, the director will be so familiar with the local area and understand those special laws.
The film won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival. Quentin has always been a fan of Sundance, saying it was "the most exciting thriller (?) of that year..."
The analysis of the film focused on creating characters, and this section was "the action and reaction of the characters." "Invisible Positive and Reactive Power". In the character setting, the protagonist is a woman abandoned by her gambling husband. The husband stole the family's only savings to buy a house before Christmas, abandoning his wife and two children. A woman needs to support her family and children and buy a house (buying a house is a motivation), but just being a temporary worker can't raise the money at all. No money is resistance, causing the reactionary force of the later story.
To make the story more urgent, the director sets up a unique film situation. When: Before Christmas, Where: Border, Indian Reservation, Event: Stowaway.
In the end: In the prescribed situation, the two "mothers" reach a mutual aid ending.
As a digression, I think of a line when the impoverished heroine smuggled those Chinese people: smuggling here? Why are you coming to this fucking place? ! She didn't know there was a ghost place that was even more ghostly...
Finally, the eldest son who cheated on the old lady's credit card number apologized to the old lady brought by the police!
