Weekend is No. 10 on indieWIRE’s fall “The 30 Must-See Indie’s List”

“Fall theatrical preview: Must see movies.”

— Mark Rabinowitz,

“WEEKEND is a work of surpassing emotional insight and artistic accomplishment. It’s about (yes) the human condition — and it’s already one of the best of the year.”

— Paul Brunick,

“WEEKEND depicts a fleeting romantic encounter with delicacy and philosophical depth, but its chief appeal is simplicity. Revolving around a brief affair between two young men with vastly different perspectives on life, the film operates on a familiar dynamic; however, it works here thanks to the precise alignment of talented actors and a focused screenplay. Humming along on the commitment of its engaging leads, WEEKEND builds into a powerful encapsulation of an identity crisis over the course of three passionate days.”

— Eric Kohn,

“If every movie is as great as WEEKEND, it’s going to be a terrific fest.”

— Eugene Hernandez, indieWIRE

“Perfectly realised—a bracing, present tense exploration of sex, intimacy and love.”

— A.O. Scott,

“A small, perfect thing. A likely classic and not just a gay one.”

— Chuck Wilson,

“The film takes an approach similar to Richard Linklater’s Before Sunrise…Haigh directs the film with carefully composed shots that allow the actors to naturally drift in and out of frame, giving the duo’s frank dialogue and unrestrained sex scenes a powerful and raw expression. Weekend pulls off what so many try and few achieve: an honest relationship.”

— Matt Patches,
