Review of Weekend (2011) by Chihoe H — 24 Mar 2012

An utterly raw and honest portrayal, "Weekend" explores a one-night stand that turns into 48 hours together. Over the course of the weekend, the two individuals share their emotional longings and frustrations, their thoughts on anything from relationships to gay rights, and open their hearts as they recount vignettes from their personal histories.

Comparisons to "Before Sunrise" are just and deserving because "Weekend" does what the former did well in â" having a naturalness and insightfulness emerging from provocative conversations and flowing chemistry between the leads.

Furthermore, it shows how one can be of such an influence to another, regardless of how brief their time spent together is.
