Alexandra Heller-Nicholas AWFJ.org All hail the mighty Daniel Orihai, who bursts out of Nigeria with a pounding, intoxicating instant horror classic, The Weekend. Jun 19, 2024 Full Review Martin Carr martincarr.co.uk The Weekend is a simple story told with directness. Putting his own twist on culture clash dynamics, director Daniel Oriahi discusses allegiances to family, reflecting that back on the modern world, before embracing conventional genre tropes. Nov 5, 2024 Full Review Xero Gravity Big Gold Belt Media "The Weekend is drenched in Nigerian family values and culture, but at its base it is a story about finding family, trusting your instincts, and knowing when to mind your damn business." Rated: 3/5 Jul 9, 2024 Full Review Sumner Forbes Film Threat For all of its shortcomings, one will find oneself thinking about Oriahi’s film long after the credits roll, at which point any potential vegans in the audience can finally put away their barf bags and go back to their Impossible Burgers. Rated: 7/10 Jun 25, 2024 Full Review Soham Gadre Film Inquiry It feels like something rehearsed to the point of having the energy drained out of it. Jun 24, 2024 Full Review Michael Gingold Rue Morgue Magazine The sense of relatability built up by the slightly exaggerated, highly charged family issues in the first hour or so gets lost amidst the contrived, gruesome melodrama that follows.
