It makes pretty good use of one of the most beautiful cities in the world, and the story of Nick and Meg is certainly an interesting one.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 23, 2022

If you want to see an honest story beautifully written and brought to life by a stellar cast, I recommend you seek it out.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 13, 2020

As moving as it is engaging and astute.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 29, 2019

For better or for worse, Le Week-End relies a great deal on its two central performers, and fortunately Broadbent and Duncan are in fine fettle here.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 5, 2019

Confuses a one-dimensional, borderline sadistic view of the mitigations that come with ageing to their actual reality (which is surely a lot more nuanced and less miserable)!

| Original Score: 2/5 | Dec 8, 2018

Wonderful performances (including a fun but quite "huh?" supporting turn from Jeff Goldblum) and nice aesthetics help make Le Week-end a passable trip to Paris,

The script falters as domestic drama turns to contrived farce, and the couple runs out on an expensive dinner check. What is this, Frances Ha?

| Aug 31, 2018

The film's uncomfortable emotional tone is well balanced and heightened by the majestic architecture and skies of the city, a city they can't truly enjoy until its almost too late.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 30, 2018

The sublime talents of British thespians Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan allow the comedic drama "Le Week-End" to travel beyond cheap cliches and tired road-trip gags into more thought-provoking territory.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Aug 7, 2018

This isn't just about sex, it's a film about ageing, and the slights and delights of realising your life has never been your own. Unlike many Hollywood films, it doesn't make older people look angry or infantile. How refreshing.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 6, 2018

The banter is clever, yet so candid that the audience feels a bit sheepish. We're overhearing a wholly believable private conversation; these two are most definitely not on their best behavior. No company manners here.

| Original Score: 8/10 | Dec 3, 2017

Beautifully written and performed, there are biting truths here that will resonate with anyone who's lived in a long term relationship.

| Oct 26, 2017

It's rare to see a film about late middle-age, which is neither pure escapism nor about people at the end of their rope.

| Aug 15, 2017

Le Week-End isn't nearly the comic lark the trailer would have you believe. It's much better than that: a poignant look at a relationship whose embers of love are barely glowing, but whose principals still like each other too much to split up

| Original Score: 4 of 5 | Apr 18, 2016

The film hits the mark on couples struggling to find that balance between individuality and union with Broadbent and Duncan providing pitch-perfect performances.

| Original Score: B- | Mar 9, 2016

Great acting and a great script from the hand of Hanif Kureishi. [Full review in Spanish]

| Nov 12, 2015

A movie that evoques the nouvelle vague, with discusions and quick romantic encounters, where Paris becomes a character and rebeling is part of staying alive. [Full review in Spanish]

| Nov 12, 2015

Although the film is profound and moving indeed, one does wonder how a viewer of a certain age might respond to it.

| Oct 8, 2015

Despite its rough turns and bumpy exposition, Le Week-End is absolutely a trip worth taking, full of moving moments and well-earned laughs.

| Jan 6, 2015

A loosely structured but acutely observed relationships movie with a wide streak of painful comedy.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 6, 2015
