Quick Info
"Weekend" is a British indie film that tells the story of Russell and Glen, two men whose casual hookup after a night out unexpectedly turns into something meaningful over the course of just 48 hours. The film is intimate, quietly acted, and very grounded in reality—no grand romantic gestures or manufactured drama, just two people trying to figure out what connection means for them. It’s refreshingly authentic, with long, unhurried conversations that make you feel like you’re eavesdropping on something real.
What really stood out for me was how natural the performances felt. Tom Cullen and Chris New just have this genuine chemistry, and their dialogue flows so naturally that it barely feels scripted. The movie is shot in a way that keeps you close to the characters, almost as if you’re right there in the apartment with them. The emotions are understated yet hit surprisingly hard as their time together winds down, leaving a bittersweet aftertaste.
If you're looking for something fast-paced or full of traditional rom-com tropes, "Weekend" might not hit the spot. Its quietness might be off-putting to some, but for anyone interested in character-driven romance, especially stories dealing with fleeting connections and modern relationships, it’s a real gem. I’d recommend it to fans of understated, thoughtful storytelling.
