Trucker


Rating = B+

I liked this very much. The trucker, Diane, is an interesting character who is struggling to live an independent life, but her path has some problems and risks. Some changes are forced on her when she abruptly has to fit into her life her eleven old son, who she has not seen in years and who is as independent as she is. It could be formulaic, except that the director takes it slow and keeps it gritty and plausibly realistic.
