"Dirty Weekend" is a decent idea for a low-budget movie that never gets past the idea stage, and after a brief while, you may start to question whether it should have been a movie at all, much less a 90-minute one.

Rated: 1/4

Los Angeles Times

As always with LaBute's talkathons, dialogue is ever purposeful and oh-so-empty, less indicative of flesh-and-blood people than a dramatist's deliberateness, though Eve and Broderick make the most of their dully comic exchanges.

New York Times

A fairly weak-tea story of conflicted self-discovery that would make for a mildly engaging evening on the stage.

Battleship Pretension

Strangely, to the film's credit, it unexpectedly ends in a quietly complex and sweet place. I don't quite think the slow-stepping plot is worth the outcome, but the consistent tone does pay off.

This makes for an intriguing, but unfortunately still very tame and more mainstream kind of film, which is unlike LaBute. Mediocre but leaves more to be desired.

Rated: 3/5

Neil LaBute follows the disappointing Some Velvet Morning with another misfire starring Alice Eve...

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars

I liked the movie up to the first half...and I didn't like the the second half.

"Dirty Weekend" is a thought-provoking exploration of self-discovery and human connection. Directed by Neil LaBute, the film follows coworkers Les Moore (Matthew Broderick) and Natalie Hamilton (Alice Eve) as they navigate an unexpected layover in Albuquerque. Broderick delivers a nuanced performance, capturing Les's internal conflict and vulnerability, while Eve's portrayal of Natalie adds depth and complexity to the narrative. The film's dialogue-driven approach allows for an intimate examination of the characters' personal struggles and evolving relationship. LaBute's direction ensures a balance between humor and introspection, making "Dirty Weekend" a compelling watch for those interested in character-driven stories.

Classic LaBute showing mild mannered people are not quite that and always more interesting (sexually) under the surface. Good performances by Eve and Broderick showing their theatre chops

I was actually quite surprised... I don't see how this film got such a low rating... Matthew Broderick was brilliant... & Alice Eve was exceptional in her supporting role... not trying to outshine Broderick, just being perfectly complementary.
