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.

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.

When people are checking reviews to decide on a movie to watch, they don't want to read "PLOT TWIST at the End".... "The Ending was ....." (((Thanks to these careless reviews, we're expecting the twist and will probably end up figuring it out))). Then, one review on this site actually went so far as to tell us if the couple in this film stayed together or went their separate ways!!! Really? SMH.... At the very least, just put "Spoiler Alert" in your heading or at the beginning of your review. I'm surprised Fandango / RT allows these to stay up, or that they don't have a "report" link. Anyway, my review is as follows: Weekend was a well made, touching film with sincere & natural performances and an incredibly "true to life" feeling storyline. Andrew Haigh delivered with a straightforward approach to filmmaking so much that it, at times felt almost documentary in style and substance. I would highly recommend, and I'll be watching for more from these talented actors and director. 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.
