Long Weekend Reviews
Overall, this film fits its title. Relax, enjoy the vibe and be grateful for a pleasant evening at the movies.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 14, 2021
Deft, unexpectedly involving and powered by the genuine star power of Chao and Wittrock who display irresistible on-screen chemistry. The twists and provocations keep coming until the very end of this often funny and genuinely touching spellbinder.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Apr 2, 2021
OK if it's not taken seriously (but otherwise a bummer).
| Original Score: C+ | Mar 23, 2021
It's actually more annoying than it is charming.

Finn Wittrock and Zoe Chao have really good chemistry and the writing is strong enough that you believe in the affection these two people have for each other.

It's a smart, endearing romantic comedy ... with a twist.
| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 20, 2021
Long Weekend had all the tools to make a wistful, escapist romance that explores and overcomes some of the stigmas of mental health, but it flatlines.
| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 18, 2021
"Long Weekend" is inoffensive, but ultimately forgettable.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 18, 2021
The Wittrock-Chao matchup is a powder keg, but a problematic screenplay pulls this movie down with it. It also treats mental illness as a gimmick.
| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 18, 2021
This unusual romcom is as delightful as Chao's welcoming smile.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 15, 2021
An extended exercise in whimsy that lacks the final measure of magic that would put it in the upper echelons of 'impossible' romantic comedies.
| Original Score: C+ | Mar 14, 2021
Filled with unexpected surprises.
| Original Score: B | Mar 14, 2021
With strong characters and a twist that meaningfully adds to their story, Long Weekend is an engaging romantic tale that offers a satisfying journey.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 14, 2021
In a genre that often embraces a sense of artifice, Long Weekend feels refreshingly established in genuine dynamics.
| Mar 13, 2021
I got sucked in. It forced me to like it, and that's one of the best type of movies to see.
| Original Score: 4/4 | Mar 13, 2021
Long Weekend remains an easy-going attempt to freshen romcom formula that's best when it relies on the oldest of values, Chao's lively appeal.
| Mar 13, 2021
Basilone handles it so deftly, including how it defies credibility to be logically true, that we stay with it, and with them, all the way to an ending I found completely satisfying and just right.
| Mar 13, 2021
This heartfelt romantic comedy manages enough laughs and emotional depth to avoid conventional genre pitfalls.
| Mar 12, 2021
Long Weekend is a fluffy romcom with a strange twist that mostly stands on the likability of its characters. The movie's biggest strength lies in its humanity. That's enough to make it a decent film.

Feels like a generic indie romance film, one that seemed to be released every week in the '90s and go straight to Blockbuster
