Cleveronix A different way of telling a story

Brenda The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

tracieg-95-395578 Drab, boring, pointless, and ever so long (and it's only 93 minutes). Did they not give Patricia Richardson a script before the shoot? This is a movie about a family and some friends gathering together over a holiday weekend at the family "cabin" in Lake Tahoe. There seems, however, to be no plot--or if there is one, it is disjointed, lumbering, and completely inane. Dialogue doesn't appear to be prepared in advance and is s...l...o...w. Character interactions have no focus. There are no cohesive conversations -- every word begets conflict. If they are trying to irritate us into oblivion, then this movie is a success. Otherwise, it is anything but.

Billy Locke Don't miss the stellar Patricia Clarkson and a simply wonderful cast in the satisfying comedy LAST WEEKEND. It made me feel at home (and a bit homesick as well). Everybody can relate to this movie. All families are rich in character and navigating a family get together always leads to something unexpected.Tom Dolby and Tom Williams are a picture perfect team. They expertly displayed their innate ability to capture the essence and complications of family and crisis. I highly recommend this movie, it is a job well done.

Abdi Nazemian Last Weekend is a poignant and moving meditation of family, loss, and change. Patricia Clarkson leads a magnificent ensemble with her raw performance. She is a brilliant actress, but gets far too few leading roles. Here, she is the heart of the film as a mother confronting the passage of time, and the rest of the cast match her nuanced intensity brilliantly, with especially great turns by up-and-comers Zachary Booth, Joseph Cross, and Devon Graye. The film's directors maintain a tone of quiet longing throughout, and the film is beautiful to look at (Lake Tahoe has never looked better), but look beneath its shimmering surface and you will find a compassionate look at the difficult bonds of family. Stunning.

saralburdette I thought this was a very brave film. The film makers didn't shy away from portraying reality, at least a particular slice of it. They offered up light and shadow without too much commentary, simply portraying it in its subtle and not so subtle complexity. I liked and disliked all the characters. I judged some of their actions, while still caring and having compassion. Patricia Clarkson gives an evocative, haunting performance. The bulk of the cast (all the main characters) are equally believable and nuanced. Together they create a world that doesn't apologize for what it is, that allows us into the lifestyle of the few, while sharing the fear, love and unskillfulness that in part of humanity as a whole. I liked that the film doesn't tell us what to think and feel. It offers up the intimate interactions of one family, and leaves the work of perspective up to us. THE LAST WEEKEND felt more like delving into a good novel than watching a Hollywood movie, which made at least this viewer quite happy she risked the unknown and watched it.
