It captures a unique bond between two gay men seeking company and a missing piece in their lives, who just happen to find it unexpectedly one night (and in extension, the rest of the weekend). Really well written and acted study of the human condition - and very affecting.Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-21561031535323716442012-01-22T11:52:00.228+11:002012-01-22T11:52:00.228+11:00Yeah I was surprised to see Haigh had worked on Gl...Yeah I was surprised to see Haigh had worked on Gladiator. As you said, it's probably only going to play at the Chauvel (but maybe Dendy Opera Quays) - but well worth seeking out.Andy Bucklehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15655573933693289124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-2896198383242767782012-01-21T17:47:49.082+11:002012-01-21T17:47:49.082+11:00For some reason I can't get myself to watch th...For some reason I can't get myself to watch this on Netflix.<br /><br />Nice review Andy - you may have persuaded me.Sam Fragosohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09974858608988634583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2890338907751315894.post-81458711309596037472012-01-21T12:06:13.313+11:002012-01-21T12:06:13.313+11:00Good review, Andy.

I love the irony that Haigh, who edited Ridley Scott's Gladiator, can make a film as real and intimate as Weekend.<br /><br />Australian audiences may have to go out of their way to see it, but I'd suggest they do. I'd also say keep an eye on upcoming Queer Film Festival line-ups as we approach Sydney's Mardi Gras season.D.R.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11517891007414596722noreply@blogger.com
