Despite the emotional terra firma Nivola and other cast members try to provide, this drama about a taciturn loner forced into single-parenthood drifts into the ozone.

There's a sense of beauty and contemplation in Albertin's work, and though it seems like danger hangs in the air, there's an odd lack of tension or suspense, and the film's pace requires incredible patience.

The nicest thing that can be said about this demure little Canadian trifle is that it's a film that finally gives the gifted, self-assured and sadly underrated Alessandro Nivola a leading role.

When both of your leads are so stone-faced and largely uncommunicative, it's difficult to care enough to want to know where they or their relationship end up.

I found the entire emotional journey on which Weightless takes viewers to be rewarding as well as heartbreaking.

Despite some strong performances and some haunting imagery, it's difficult to establish a sufficient emotional connection with characters who are this internalized and withdrawn.

If you like watching paint dry, this is the movie for you. While I liked the characters and the storyline it seemed very aimless. The ending was very vague.
