Film Review: Weekend
paratext:
I reviewed this really good indie film called Weekend at Tinymixtapes, and probably didn’t do it justice. It’s a sweet, smart movie, and it’s cool to have such a non-epic gay film (that is, “not Brokeback Mountain”) get so much attention.

It’s been an eventful few months for ‘Weekend’. We’ve now played all our American festivals and everything is building for the US release on September 23rd. The film seems to have gone down well - getting some great reviews and picking up some prizes along the way. Meanwhile in Europe we had our European Premiere at Karlovy Vary Film Festival and will be coming to the UK...
