Weekend
2011
The film that put Looking’s Andrew Haigh on the map. The British director stumbles on greatness with this remarkably simple story of two Nottingham-based gay men who fall in love over the course of one weekend.
The flat in which the action takes place is drab, the dialogue is straightforward, and compared to Blue and Stranger, the drama’s muted. So what makes Weekend so powerful? The understated performances from Tom Cullen as the sweet, sensitive Russell and Chris New as the more cynical, showy Glen. A story about two lost souls and the kindness of love, this film will stay with you forever.
