Heavy
First screened in May 2015
Director: James Mangold. Cast: Pruitt Taylor Vince, Liv Tyler, Shelley Winters, Deborah Harry, Joe Grifasi, Evan Dando, Marian Quinn. Screenplay: James Mangold.

Twitter Capsule: More convincing local color than indies in this vein often conjure. Tender but not soft. So well-played, especially by Vince.

VOR:   Terrific example of U.S. indie filmmaking, especially what we might call "Sundance cinema," letting viewers come to its quiet milieu and characters rather than hustling to woo us.
