Synopsis

Victor, an overweight cook, spends his nights spinning pizzas at his mother’s rural restaurant. When Callie, a beautiful confused college-dropout, comes to work as a new waitress, the two draw together. Victor finds himself crossing an emotional threshold he’s never before risked.

Our take

Responsible for some of the more interesting superhero-blockbusters of recent years, James Mangold (Walk the Line, Logan) began his varied career with Heavy, winning praise (and prizes) at both Sundance and Cannes. A subtle, sensitive debut, co-starring Shelley Winters!
