(2011)

Genre: Drama/Romance

Director: Andrew Haigh

Writer: Andrew Haigh

Producers: Suzanne Alizart, Rachel Dargavel, Tristan Goligher, Claire Mundell, Anna Seifert-Speck

Synopsis: Weekend follows Russell (newcomer Tom Cullen, Best Actor winner at Nashville), who, after randomly picking up artist Glen (Chris New) at a nightclub on a Friday night, unexpectedly spends most of the next 48 hours with him in bedrooms and bars, telling stories and having sex, while developing a connection that will resonate throughout their lives. This affecting and naturalistic romance is beautifully realized, earning comparisons to Richard Linklater's Before Sunrise in its exploration of how two people can come together only briefly, yet impact each other in a profound way. -- (Written by Sundance Selects)

To cope with her loss, she buries herself and her emotions in her work to the dismay of her friends, family and co-workers. One day, inexplicably, her zest for life and love is rekindled by a most unlikely source, her seemingly unexceptional, gauche, and average looking office subordinate, Markus (comic star Francois Damiens). At first stunned by Nathalie's unexpected attention, Markus comes to gradually believe in her feelings and shifts into romantic high gear. As their relationship goes from awkward to genuinely loving, Nathalie and Markus will have to overcome a host of obstacles including everyone else's judgmental perceptions as well as their own self-doubts. -- (Written by CMG)

Short Review: Due to the negative comments from a few friends, I had low expectations when I began watching this film. As it progressed I laughed several times, and enjoyed it thoroughly. LOVED the climax - was not expecting it at all. AND the epic cast of several talented actors, made me love it even more.
