Padraic McKinley said "I need one of the best actors of the 21st century with a bird last name" and the casting director said, "here's two."Full review is here2026 Ranked
I knew nothing about this going in (the only way to do it) but if you had told me it was Sorcerer meets Cool Hand Luke but with an Ethan Hawke father-daughter twist I wouldn’t have been able to believe you. The audience was viscerally feeling every bone-crunching beat. A true throwback tale with a director-editor and a composer-writer, people putting their heart and soul into flawed characters you nonetheless wanna grow up to be. Loved it. Rockstar shit.
When a desperate father is sent to a brutal prison during the Great Depression, he accepts a dangerous proposition to smuggle gold through the wilderness in exchange for his freedom.
The Weight was directed by Padraic McKinley in 2026, marking his feature directorial debut.
The film is set against the rugged backdrop of 1933 Oregon.
