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 Squid and the Whale (2005)
An American drama by Noah Baumbach.
A husband and wife go through a very messy divorce and their 2 sons have difficult times because of it.
Well, it wasn't mass-produced Hollywood bullshit. The style was actually pretty good. The characters and plot kept me interested, but I felt it was a little inconclusive. I liked how the sons indulged in forbidden pleasures: the older trying to sleep with multiple girls and the younger drinking beer and jerking off. It had it's moments, but wasn't amazing. I rate this adequate. By the way, my Wikipedia boycott is over. They shut down for 24 hours, so I boycotted them for 72. Seems fair, as neither party accomplished anything by inaction.
