thiago s @Thiagostone Jul 26 Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom See more Stephen C @bob25009 07/01/2025 Success in 1 hour and 45 minutes. See more Ben D @RT87620530 01/23/2025 Somber and homey, Heavy lays bare attraction and self-image and creates a character-driven story in the rainy expanse of the Hudson Valley. The dingy roadside saloon and pizza joint, Pete and Dolly’s, is named after the late Pete and Dolly Modino (Shelley Winters). Their overweight son, Victor (Pruitt Taylor Vince) makes pizzas (which he hates) and mostly keeps to himself in the back of the establishment. The young and beautiful (and inexperienced) Callie (Liv Taylor) is a Syracuse dropout whose hiring Delores (Debbie Harry) takes as a personal slight. Victor takes an instant liking to Callie, who seems to like him back, at least in a friendly manner. However, somehow, every single woman in the movie has an attraction to Victor that belies the pitiful front he presents and is a detriment to the plot. If every girl (even the cute checkout girl (Marian Quinn)) likes Victor, why is he so despondent? Moreover, why does Victor see a “dead” version of Callie at random times? This was a superfluous artsy move. That being said, Vince frequently does this rapid eye movement that is unlike anything I’ve ever seen. It was the perfect amount of weirdness that fit the drab surroundings. Mangold’s first film feels exactly like a “first film” from a director who would go on to direct movies like Logan and Ford v. Ferrari, and Indiana Jones and the something something something. It’s askew and affecting, but missing the thrust of the weight it’s going for.

Deborah Harry was perfectly cast as the worn down mature woman looking for love but looking in all the wrong places. Under stated for sure but vivid and raw. A simple story about people interacting but not connecting each with their shields up for defense. Most watching could empathize with some element of one of the characters. The pros rate it high no doubt based on quality. The audience not as enthusiastic and you can see why. No murders, no action, no chase scenes, huge stars or high drama. More an introspective persons type of movie in the old school tradition. Watched it right through and was bored for a minute.
