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.

Holy Smoke (1999)
A drama directed by Jane Campion, starring Kate Winslet and Harvey Keitel.
A girl takes a trip to India and has a spiritual experience that causes her to convert to Hinduism. Her family thinks that she has joined a cult and they call in an expert to deprogram her.
The plot and characters were good and I liked the psychological roleplay of the 2 main characters. The sparse use of special effects meets my approval as well. The closed minded family was a little humorous. I'm rating it adequate.
