Weekend
Dir: Andrew Haigh
2011
****
A beautifully filmed slice of life and romantic encounter between two men. A Gay Before Sunrise is a lazy description but I suppose it is pretty accurate although I would say Weekend is a little more real. Tom Cullen got a lot of praise for his performance, which I thought was good but I have to say I was a little more impressed by Chris New and look forward to seeing more from him. This is such a simple and sweat story, I'm so glad it was treated as such with a cliche free feeling about it and good dialogue and character development, it really is a film you can get lost in. Looking forward to seeing more from Andrew Haigh.
