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.

4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days (2007)
A drama directed by Cristian Mungiu.
In a city where abortion is illegal, a pregnant girl's roommate helps her to arrange for an illegal abortion to be performed and cares for her after the fact.
This was in Romanian with subtitles. The dialogue was minimal, but also most of the film. It was a very sparse film with that "independent" style. There were very few main characters, but they were good ones. The deal that the girls make to pay for the abortion is a great scene. I'm rating this adequate because it's low budget and un-commercial enough for me, but there wasn't much there.
