Let’s face it. 99% of the Gay movies put out there aren’t very good. Either they’re unbelievable plot lines or the material is held back because if the producers go “too far” with it, then the studio will find it risky and release it direct to DVD.

Fortunately, this movie, “WEEKEND”, is getting A LOT of good reviews and buzz.

On a Friday night after a drunken house party with his straight mates, Russell heads out to a gay club, alone and on the pull. Just before closing time he picks up Glen but what’s expected to be just a one-night stand becomes something else, something special. That weekend, in bars and in bedrooms, getting drunk and taking drugs, telling stories and having sex, the two men get to know each other. It is a brief encounter that will resonate throughout their lives. The Weekender is both an honest and unapologetic love story between two guys and a film about the universal struggle for an authentic life in all its forms. It is about the search for identity and the importance of making a passionate commitment to your life.
