New Review For Movie Weekend
Sexy, provocative, engrossing and occasionally ornery, it should appeal to anyone whose curiosity about someone new has provoked them to question their own identity.
Ben Walters-Time Out Cullen and New are British stage actors with little background in film. Haigh's only previous film was a documentary. Perhaps because they don't feel bound by a set of rules, they've created one of the year's most enjoyable surprises.
John Hartl-Seattle Times It's a definitive example of naturalistic moviemaking -- you feel you're breathing the air that the characters are breathing.
Colin Covert-Minneapolis Star Tribune Its final moments offer a vision of what a contemporary romance can achieve: an appreciative gasp of truth, a wet-eyed hope for more.
Kyle MacMillan-Denver Post One of the truest, most beautiful movies ever made about two strangers.
Wesley Morris-Boston Globe If you've ever met someone who changed your life in the space of days, you'll relate to something in this movie.
Dana Stevens-Slate A romance that finds intimacy in intense conversation but also a very British film about private and public spaces; a potent mix of the sensually intimate and the politically confrontational.
Brian Gibson-Vue Weekly (Edmonton, Canada) For a movie that bares the souls of its characters so completely, Weekend doesn't unfold like a complicated movie. The dialogue is natural, the sex scenes are tender, and the camera never gets in the way of the story.
Eric Melin-Scene-Stealers.com Probably one of the greatest films ever made on the subject of gay love, not because it deals with issues of homosexuality, but because it simply tells a tender, honest, emotionally potent love story.
Jeffrey M. Anderson-Combustible Celluloid Weekend works beautifully in the moment, and lingers long after an initial viewing. It's certainly an affair to remember.
Christopher Long-Movie Metropolis Weekend has romance to spare, but also takes a look at the cogs turning under the surface of any thoughtful encounter, however brief.
Catherine Bray-Film4 Through two wonderful performances from Tom Cullen and Chris New, writer-director Andrew Haigh has captured the many emotions associated with a new relationship.
Matthew Toomey-ABC Radio Brisbane Weekend is one of the most impressive films ever made about love. Haigh's confidence and intelligence as a filmmaker, has resulted in a sincere and emotionally engaging film.
Thomas Caldwell-Cinema Autopsy Made with all the technical disadvantages of a home movie - dirty and confusing sound recording, sloppy camerawork (but here it's intentional, meant to look arty)
Andrew L. Urban-Urban Cinefile In an intimate exploration of its central relationship, this boy meets boy story addresses all the issues of being gay and meets them head on
Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile A stunningly simple, nearly perfect example of a romance movie whose burgeoning couple just happens to be gay.
Richard Knight-Knight at the Movies The best film of 2011.
Alonso Duralde-What the Flick?! Simplicity personified... character- and emotion-driven cinema at its purest and densest and most haunting.
Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy Part of the brilliance of Haigh's film is how specific the characterizations are of his two main characters, how their different natures both allow for the possibility of love and impede it.
Rob Thomas-Capital Times (Madison, WI) Deserves to find a place in the hearts of wistful romantics everywhere, no matter what their sexual preference.
Amber Wilkinson-Eye for Film It's splendidly played with an understated intensity that deftly captures the shifting emotional tone of the relationship.
David Parkinson-Radio Times Weekend is finally a deeply romantic film, assured of the pleasure that one person can find in another, but rooted in the quirks and textures of contemporary British life.
Samuel Wigley-Sight and Sound Offers up the kind of subtle, truthful relationship drama that's all too rare in cinema.
Alistair Harkness-Scotsman There's a fresh, sweaty, honest, unpretentious air to it, and when they part, with Glen on his way to spend a year working in Portland, Oregon, we genuinely believe that something like love has come into their yearning lives.
Philip French-Observer [UK] Writer-director Andrew Haigh has a delicate, sensitive touch, and this is appealing as a simple peek into modern romance... but there's a sense of wishful thinking -- or even desperation -- that I suspect is not intended here.
MaryAnn Johanson-Flick Filosopher There's a deceptive simplicity to British writer-director Andrew Haigh's poignant, fluent character study, which has already earned comparisons to Before Sunrise.
