movie review - Heavy

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-eight years and a million words

Toronto, 1997.06.08

This quiet little film features a shy, overweight fellow who falls in love with Liv Taylor (who wouldn't??). Nothing much happens, though when his mom dies he keeps it quiet until nearly the end of the movie, at which point he gets beaten up for dumping his problems on Deborah Harris.

Recommended.
