A gay man's (Tom Cullen) weekend-long enunter wh an artist (Chris New) chang his life unexpected ways. I've heard that "Weekend" is an hont portrayal of a homosexual hookup - I'll have to take the "experts" word for , havg never enuntered one myself, however I will say that regards to ANY relatnship this film is ed an hont portrayal of that mystery of first enunter.

Both Tom Cullen and Chris New are so very natural their performanc as two gay men who hook up a bar one night, spend much of the next morng talkg ep topics, and then ci to meet aga that night.
While gay topics are discsed here (and a warng, there are gay "suatns" shown, so if you're homophobic... Well, I doubt that you'd be seeg this film to beg wh (though what has to say about human sire and that nasty four letter word "love" mak this a worthwhile view spe of beg uched gayns).

This sensual, remarkably observed, betifully acted wonr is the breakout feature om Brish wrer-director-edor Andrew Haigh. Rarely has a film been as hont about sexualy— both pictn and discsn—as this tale of a one-night stand that velops to a weekend-long idyll for two very different young men (excg screen newers Tom Cullen and Chris New) the English Midlands. It’s an emotnally naked film that’s at once an valuable snapshot of the plexi of ntemporary gay livg and a universally ronant portra of a love affair. * the weekend gay film *
Somethg that I appreciate so much about Weekend is that is a fively, unniably gay movie that uld not be re-wrten as a heteroromantic film.
