Reviews: The Weight (2026)

Here are review links for this film submitted by our members:

Allen Almachar @ The MacGuffin
- Excerpt: You can tell a film is working at a high level when a mere conversation is just as riveting as any shootout, car chase, or big explosion.
Laura Clifford @ Reeling Reviews
- Excerpt: This throwback…plays something like “The Treasure of the Sierra Madre” with a dash of “Sorceror” among many others, held aloft by Hawke’s navigation of potentially lethal obstacles and Crowe’s dialed down performance.
Jared Mobarak @ Hey, have you seen …?
- Excerpt: These supporting characters also have more complex backstories than you might expect. It provides an effective political backdrop to color the genre trappings. Each one is battling his/her oppressors—namely, men with badges.
Matt Oakes @ Silver Screen Riot
- Excerpt: ‘The Weight’ is an effective survival Dad movie, buoyed by intoxicating production design and a killer Ethan Hawke man-on-a-mission performance.
