Levity
Billy Bob Thornton stars in LEVITY as Manual Jordan, an ex-con recently released from a 21-year jail sentence, who is seeking redemption from Adele Easley (Holly Hunter), the sister of the guy he murdered. His mild manner and passivity make him immune to the new freedoms he'll experience outside of jail, and so his release seems like more of a punishment than a reward. By a stroke of luck he meets a spiritual man (Morgan Freeman) who runs a soup kitchen and community center. He is given a job as a parking attendant for the nearby nightclub. This job is the catalyst that brings him in touch with a young girl, Sofia (Kirsten Dunst), whose difficult home life has turned her into a self-destructive wreck, wasting her life on booze and drugs. However, her faith is restored by Manual's gentle way of looking out for her. Little by little, Manual's goodness--the result of years of guilt spent reflecting on his crime in prison--casts a ray of new light on everyone involved, including the young and troubled son of Adele. The strong cast of director Ed Solomon's debut all turn in superb, understated performances and the snowy Chicago streets and moody acoustic soundtrack add a chilling gravity to the very moralistic, Christian plot of this genuine film.

Redemption
This film is one of those films one hasn't heard of before, and finds by accident, but is very glad to have done so.

A weak story redeemed by an outstanding cast performance
I can understand why so many reviewers of Levity find it 'slow', 'plodding' or even 'boring'. On the face of it, Levity has a simple and... read more »

This movie isn't going to get you excited. For me it was slow and methodical which, with such a very stong cast, was surprising. Individual performances ... read more »

Quite a Find!
This film may be too deep for most. Although a little slow moving, this is part of the beauty of the film, as with most meaningful films. This gives you time to... read more »

2010 Top 20 Actresses Under 30
- 03 Jun 2010
We’ve been running this list for six years now – originally it was top ten under 25, a definition we realised was too narrow as our favourite stars got older. Funnily enough this year the youngsters are back in force – only three of our top ten, and one of the top five, are over 25. What does that mean? Well, obviously we’re not claiming that Mia Wasikowska (ranked 3 in our chart) is as big a movie star as Natalie Portman (ranked 14). And frankly I would be surprised if Read more
