Review
|
Powerful, depressing film about misfortune, hubris, and
destructive passion. Naomi Watts is a greaving housewife,
Sean Penn is dying of cancer, and an ex-con, Benicio Del
Toro, is the culpable driver. They collide in a disaster
that is partly the result of guilt and partly the result of
arrogance.
Great performances, especially by Watts.
The 21 grams refers to some kind of myth about the weight of
the human soul leaving the body.
