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.

Vera Drake (2004)
A British drama by Mike Leigh.
A woman performs abortions for girls who are too poor to afford children. When one of the girls gets sick from her services, the mother of the girl snitches on the abortion woman. The police become involved and the woman is arrested.
The audio was very bad and it should have had subtitles. All of the characters whispered as softly as they could and this was done with a cockney accent. Obviously it was difficult to discern the dialogue. The pace was very slow and there were a lot of scenes involving the characters sitting and not saying anything. The plot was unique and some important details about the crime being committed came to light near the end (not spoiling). I'm rating this o.k. because it was on the boring side.
