Reviews for Heavy
Top CriticThe movie has a kind of elegance, but it's a very long sit.

Showing strong observational skills, James Mangold has made a quiet, personal film that contests the stereotypes with which Hollywood has portrayed overweight people; the acting is terrific all around, including Shelley Winters!

Explores the same kind of territory pioneered in the short fiction of Raymond Carver.
08/21/02
A slice of life drama that, like the characters it portrays, plods along at its own pace. All the while engaging the viewer.
07/01/02
Effectively delineates those people whose lives merely exist on the margins of society.
06/05/02
A small, quiet miracle of a movie in which tenderness, compassion and insight combine to create a tension that yields a quality of perception that's almost painful to experience.
02/14/01
Top Critic[Mangold] shows an intuitive understanding that the truth is in the details, and that a modest story about real people transcending self-imposed boundaries can be more riveting than any summer blockbuster.
01/01/00
Mangold's vision is bold.
01/01/00
As the melodrama plays out, Mangold creates a heightened sensibility, the feeling of emotional exploration, the hope for understanding. Yet he doesn't really do much with it.
