Travis Hopson

The Weight is exciting stuff, with Hawke strong in a physically demanding role that he makes look easy.

For those interested because they themselves are podcasters (isn’t everyone), the film’s depiction is absurd enough it might help you stay awake during the most dreary stretches.

Travis Hopson

It’s unfortunate that this ambitious project, spanning the past, present, and far-flung future, is such a cloying effort with awful casting choices.
