Weekend

This is one of those low-budget films that is all too caught up in itself. It's a boy meets boy story told with all the bad elements of a home-made movie: sloppy dialog that is only understandable with there is nothing to say, and complete mumble when it portends to be important; jumpy un-focused photography that went out of style 20 years ago; a plot that never goes anywhere and a totally predictable ending. It's a movie about a quasi-developing relationship that is more founded on drugs and sex than real emotion, and I guess it is supposed to be a look into a gay world of 2-night stands, where neither partner have similar goals. It's a perfect example of drama being life with the boring parts left out. However this seems to be just the opposite: a story about just the boring parts of life.

The insecurity, the awkwardness, everything. Yes, at times the camera work was a little ridiculous; for example, watching the actors through reflection on white tile. The dialogue was the important part anyways.

This movie is a real movie, tailored toward gay men, that doesn't overdo the "proud of it" factor. The issues Russell and Glen face are real issues faced by real people that are a lot more complex than Glee or Will & Grace can portray.
