- Synopsis
- Victor is a cook who works in a greasy bar/restaurant owned by his mother, Dolly. It's just the two of them, a waitress named Delores, and a heavy drinking regular, Leo. But things change when Callie, a beautiful college drop-out, shows up as a new waitress and steals Victor's heart. But Victor is too shy to do anything about it, and too self-consciously overweight to dream of winning Callie away from her demanding boyfriend, Jeff. Victor's terrible loneliness overwhelms him when he has to face losing what he loves the most.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"In his feature debut, writer-director John Mangold brings remarkably sensitive powers of observation to bear upon ordinary people living ordinary lives."
-
"Though Heavy begins beautifully, it isn't always able to sustain its balance between narrative subtlety and inertia"
-
"A kitchen-sink drama that doesn't condescend to its characters"
-
"Heavy is the kind of deliberately slow-paced character study that allows carefully realized performances to shine."
