 	The 43-year-old The screen beauty's latest film 'The Deep Blue Sea' may have hardly been publicised and missed out on awards season but the actress said that small budget films are more experimental than commercial ones, reported Contactmusic.
	"Some of the material I'm attracted to is not... It's just not commercial. Which means it's really interesting, you know? It's off-centre. It doesn't fit a genre. I'm not trying to sound like I'm unaware. I understand that it's a business to some extent," Weisz said.
