S G @RT11118821 May 1 Trivial & lacking in chemistry or resonance. See more Omar D @BrOmar813 Dec 21 I wanted to like this movie so bad. The acting was probably the only good thing about the movie. The plot was subpar. All but the main character were completely unlikable for me. And the cinematography was mediocre. I would not recommend this movie to anyone. I gave it a chance, and left disappointed. See more Tien N @RT17982047 05/08/2025 I sometimes wonder what true love looks like and how it can make me feel. Yet, it may be just the abstract concepts we’re all chasing, then ending up making ourselves distracted from the feelings that exist right here, right now. I don’t know what words to describe the loneliness the ending scene of Weekend brings, but it lingers until now in the way it sounds and the bittersweetness it tastes in the throat. I don’t bother to follow the question of whether what Glen and Russell had was an insecure true love. As long as the feelings are true, everything else is secondary.

See more Jeff M @jeffmarshallmovieblogger 01/17/2024 Throughout the running time of this almost flawless movie, I was constantly thinking about Richard Linklater's BEFORE trilogy - although not exactly the same, they share a similar trajectory. And as much as I enjoyed and respected Linklater's films, I think what Haigh accomplishes here is more profound, more realistic and ultimately more moving. I think most of us have had a couple relationships in our lives, be it romantic or platonic, where there is an immediate intimacy and connection that make us feel like we've known the other person all of our lives. This film perfectly captures that feeling - both in its conversational dialogue and the chemistry of the two outstanding leads. Like MY DINNER WITH ANDRE, this is yet another example of conversation being as exciting as any action movie sequence ever created. WEEKEND begs to be on a double-feature with another Haigh creation - 2015's brilliant 45 YEARS. Whereas this movie is about the first weekend of a new relationship, 45 YEARS looks at the potential end of a long-term marriage. Both are exceptional, and both have brilliantly ambiguous endings. Being a pessimist, I have my own idea about what happens to Russell and Glen after the ending credits roll - perhaps your contemplations may be different. In any case, this is a truly great and perceptive movie with two leads characters (and performances) I'll remember for a long time.
