21 Grams
College professor Paul Rivers and his wife Mary find their union precariously balanced between life and death. He is mortally ill and awaiting a heart transplant, while she hopes to become pregnant with his child through artificial insemination. Cristina Peck, having matured since her reckless past, is a beloved older sister to Claudia, a good wife to Michael and loving mother to two little girls. Her family radiates hope and joy. Much farther down the socioeconomic scale, ex-con Jack Jordan and his wife Marianne struggle to provide for their two children while Jack reaffirms his commitment to religion. A tragic accident that claims several lives places these couples in each other's orbit. In the aftermath, Paul confronts his own mortality, Cristina takes action to come to terms with her present and perhaps her future, and Jack's faith is put to the test. If spiritual equilibrium is to be regained by any one of them, it could come at great cost to the others. Yet the will to live, and the instinct to reach out to another person for support, remains ever present among them all.

A film told in a non-chronological fashion that makes its audience work hard enough for them to feel they have experienced something out of the ordinary, but its melodramatic plot contrivances are more suited to soap opera than a serious work.

21 Grams weighs heavy on the mind
This is a brilliant film with superb acting, a strong storyline and is definitely one to be watched. The main drawback is the initial half hour or so, where we ... read more »

Like listening to a rambling idiot

Confusing, but a good film
Confusing at first because of the flash-backs and flash-forwards. Settles down and you can start to put the pieces together. Powerful acting and altogether a ... read more »

Ray (Melissa Leo) is trying to keep it together, working as many hours as she can get at the local grocery store, trying to get ahead on the mortgage payments to get her kids out of a trailer and into something more permanent. She’s not getting much help in that regard from her husband, a gambling addict who – Read more
