Review of Weekend (2011) by Warwick B — 04 Dec 2011

A romantic drama starring Tom Cullen as Russell and Chris New as Glen, Weekend tells the story of two strange men who meet and develop a love affair over the course of a single weekend. After being immediately attracted to each other, they then have to finger out what that means in the complex tapestry of their individual situations.

It's a moving and empathic look of how relationships develop and people fall in love, told through a series of revealing dialogues between the two leads. Character driven and breathtakingly real, Weekend may not be a masterpiece but it's a terrific gay indie movie.
