In his feature debut, writer-director John Mangold brings remarkably sensitive powers of observation to bear upon ordinary people living ordinary lives.
You don't guess the true horror of the place, which is that there are no secrets, because everyone here knows all about everyone else, inside and out, top to bottom, and has for years.
Heavy is the kind of deliberately slow-paced character study that allows carefully realized performances to shine.
Written and directed with uncommon sensitivity by James Mangold, a strikingly talented newcomer.
Mangold's sympathy is genuine and his refusal to mock or condescend to his characters -- indeed, that may be the point of the film -- is a pleasure.
Though Heavy begins beautifully, it isn't always able to sustain its balance between narrative subtlety and inertia.
This examination of unexamined lives is beautifully acted by all involved, notably former pop diva Deborah Harry, whose nuanced portrayal of a middle-aged tart is almost painful to watch.
