A boy is shuffled between the homes of his divorced parents.

Peter Debruge

Variety

I've seen "Weekends" thrice now, and some of it still confuses me, but I'm convinced it's a work of art.

Every Movie Has a Lesson

Even with shared familial love, the tricky part for the caring and observant young boy in Weekends are the swings weathered between the different parenting approaches and tones.

Rated: 4/5

Glenn Heath Jr.

San Diego CityBeat

Its minimalist 2-D sketches are sobering and surreal, a shape-shifting monument to the protagonist's growing anxiety.

Without words, we observe and experience a tenderness right along with the protagonist. There is poetry to the art style and use of sound.

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
