Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Not merely a description of corpulent character Pruitt Taylor Vince, the title refers to the leaden atmosphere hanging over a roadside café and its inhabitants. Writer-director James Mangold finds significance in the details of life, giving this touching story an authenticity that keeps us involved. Liv Tyler brings poignancy to the story as a college dropout who helps awaken the introverted and depressed Vince. Unfortunately, this fascinating character study is too often undermined by direction slow enough to be leaden. Happily, even the most stolid camera work cannot undermine the desires and insecurities of the main character, a man yearning for a full life but too afraid too take a chance. --Rochelle O'Gorman

Liked it. Low key and engaging. Holds your interest. Mangold's people are real, human, three dimensional,
and to this viewer, that pretty much sums up what most films lack. Why? Because most filmmakers are either shallow or just plain don't get it--or both.
Loved the cast, especially Liv Tyler.
My one and only gripe (if you can call it that) is that I just wish the Victor character could have summoned the courage (somehow) to snap out of his blues (that kept pulling him down ... Read More

Achingly powerful and vividly emotional film. The casting is perfect and the zen like moments of quiet make this the most emotional and quietly sadly satisfying movie I have ever seen. This is a movie of intense details. From the beautiful Callie, the sad/stuck dreamy Victor, to the bar and the wonderful little dog; all are pieces that fit together perfectly. The music is quiet and sets the emotional tone. This movie allows the viewer to be with the quiet and pain its characters hold. The tears in this ... Read More

Watching Heavy only confirmed the idea that director James Mangold may be suffering from Attention Deficit Disorder. He needs medication or at least the ability to complete a thought before he tries to ramble us through another emotional sentence. Heavy could have been a very complete and emotional film using some raw talent that prior to this had never been explored. There could have been a very strong story developed behind Pruitt Taylor Vince's character of Victor instead of the inconsistent scenes ... Read More

There are really only a few movies that attempt to portray realistic characters going about everyday life in all its ecstasy and agony, and even fewer that succeed in being genuine. Heavy is one of them, and on that score it probably gets my vote for the best film depiction of what unrequited love actually feels like. The level of emotional intensity that James Mangold achieves is blistering, as in the scene where Victor retreats to the storeroom and breaks up after the death of his mother, or the ending ...

Despite some heavy handed camera work, this film shines. The acting by the lead character (Pruitt) was outstanding as was the other characters played by Liv Tyler, Deborah Harry and Shelly Winters. The story backdrop is a small nothing town and shows broken lives and failed chances. Enter Liv Tyler who appears in a bar applying for a job. Shelly Winters is the owner and mother of Pruitt - her overweight balding son with a roving eye but a good heart. The other waitress (Deborah Harry) is none too happy ... Read More
