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.

The Last King of Scotland (2006)
A drama directed by Kevin Macdonald.
A doctor goes to Uganda to help at a mission and accidentally makes friends with the new Ugandan president. He is hired to be the personal doctor of this president and during this job, he finds out that the president is not the nice guy he seems to be.
A black president ranting about what he is going to do to make the country better brings back painful memories. What's even more accurate to life is that man delivering the opposite of his promises. On the lighter side, there was a humorous fart scene in the beginning. The characters were very good and the plot was clear. I didn't notice anything too special about style or pacing, but they were at least decent. I'm rating this adequate.
