Review of Weekend

Weekend was one of the most beloved romantic dramas by European critics last year.

The picture is written and directed by Andrew Haigh, who has been production assistant and editor neophyte in works such as: Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, Kingdom Of Heaven, all of them destined for the male public.

This new venture is a warmhearted romantic gay drama. In which a consanguinity is able to evolve in a single weekend, leaving marks and emotions for the two young man differently conceived, an ardent Russel who does not raise the GLS flag and then there’s Glen, a militant skeptic already with restrictions to romance.

The narrative’s boost is contagious and the cast manages to create a sphere of reality completely out of stereotypes. The ending escapes from obviousness and is capable to stir us.
