Every Heavy Thing (2025)6.0 /10

Storyline:  Mickey Reece’s distinctively absurdist humour has long left its imprint on Fantasia audiences through cult favourites like COUNTRY GOLD, AGNES and CLIMATE OF THE HUNTER. With his latest feature, EVERY HEAVY THING, Reece returns with a pitch-black comedy set against the unsettling backdrop of a string of disappearances, with local women vanishing without a trace. The film follows Josh Fadem as Joe, an unassuming office worker at an online periodical who becomes entangled in a conspiracy after witnessing a murder. As a colleague begins to investigate, Joe struggles to conceal the truth, as his carefully constructed life falls apart. Reece crafts a love letter to Oklahoma once again, walking a fine line between thriller and comedy, amplifying the mood of paranoia in this offbeat take on the classic trope of the ordinary man pulled into extraordinary circumstances.
