Storyline
| Plot Summary |
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. Weekend 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. Written by Andrew Haigh |

| Quotes |
Glen:
Do you ever think about finding your parents? Russell: No, not really. Glen: Why not? Russell: I don't really see the point. You know, I don't think it would change anything. Glen: Why don't I pretend to be your dad and you can come out to me? Russell: [laughs] That is SO weird. Glen: Just ignore the fact we just had sex. Russell: I don't think I can. Guess I'll try. Ok. [looks Glen in the eye] Russell: Dad? I got something I need to tell you. Glen: [pretending to be Russell's dad] What's that? Russell: I'm gay. Glen: [pretends to think] Hmm. Russell: I like guys, not girls. Glen: [breathes out slowly] Well. You know what, son. It doesn't matter to me. I love you just the same. And guess what? Russell: What? Glen: I couldn't be more proud of you than if you were the first man on the moon. See more » |
