				grams at the exact moment of our death... everyone. The weight 
				of a stack of nickels. The weight of a hummingbird... a 
				chocolate bar." – 
				Paul Rivers 
				Why watch this? 
				Penn, Watts and del Toro - what a power trio! 
				Plot Summary: 
				This painful drama follows three individuals: A terminally ill 
				mathematician, a grieving mother, and a reformed ex-convict, who 
				find their fates intertwined after a tragic accident shakes 
				their lives. Dad's Preview: 
				There is a weight to this film, which is apropos based on its 
				title. Its plot's weight bears down on the characters, who are 
				living through tragedy. There are no glee-filled situations. 
				Actions have outcomes and it's usually unpleasant. The three lead 
				actors also add weighty gravitas with their wonderful performances. This 
				is an emotional, but rewarding, marathon run.
