In ancient Egyptian mythology, a dead person's soul would be weighed against the feather of truth in a ritual called a psychostasy. If their soul was lighter than the feather, it would ascend into the afterlife. Heavy souls were devoured by Maat, eater of the dead. Good films go to hard drive heaven while the recycle bin eats the rest.

Aberdeen (2000)
A drama directed by Hans Petter Moland, starring Stellan Skarsgard and Lena Headey.
A distant family comes together: The mother is in the hospital with cancer, the daughter is a successful business woman who is addicted to cocaine and the father is an unemployed alcoholic. The daughter and father have to travel across the country to see the mother before she dies.
Everyone in this film has such problems... it's great! Conflict makes a plot interesting. The pace was slow, but that worked out to be an advantage. The plot was good, but the characters made it worth watching. I'm rating this film good and it deserves every bit of that good rating.
