It's plot will keep you invested even if you do guess most of the twists along the way. Just don't expect too much from the script, however well the actors manage to elevate it.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jul 25, 2023

Not a bad little number, this, well-directed to the genre template by Kim Farrant and with an excellent supporting performance by Luke Norris as Beth's husband Rob. His scene on the phone is a mini-masterclass in emotionally authentic acting.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Oct 30, 2022

Based on a Sarah Alderson novel, this trashy little Netflix whodunnit starring Gossip Girl’s Leighton Meester as the innocent American in the wrong place at the wrong time is, well, a film that’s almost deliberately unoriginal.

| Jul 25, 2022

Leighton Meester tries her best but she can't overcome the holes in the plot.

| Original Score: 5/10 | Apr 15, 2022

As Kim Farrant's direction favours sun-baked locations over suspense or pacing, the result is a picture-postcard potboiler that gets dafter and drearier at every turn.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Apr 14, 2022

The type of movie that Lifetime Channel reruns were made for.

| Original Score: 1/4 | Apr 12, 2022

even when the formula begins to show, you cant quite help but get sucked into it

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Apr 9, 2022

A slight B-film thriller.

| Original Score: C+ | Mar 22, 2022

Though Meester puts on a solid performance atop an intriguing plot, The Weekend Away doesn't supply enough thrills to make it an entertaining watch.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 15, 2022

It has too many twists to it, but it's not a bad throwaway thriller.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 12, 2022

Author Sarah Alderson adapted her own novel, and the screenplay is made slick with clues, dead-ends and sinful temptations that don’t materialize to much.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 10, 2022

A large glass of white wine on a Friday night.

| Mar 9, 2022

While it does not break the mold of a disappearance thriller in any way, The Weekend Away is an enjoyable 90-minute ride of tension and suspense set in beautiful Croatia.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 7, 2022

...a nifty little thriller that sets up its premise and then draws you in as each potential solution turns out to be another red herring.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 6, 2022

The Weekend Away is filled with twists and turns, but unfortunately they are all mostly predictable in this less than intense thriller.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Mar 4, 2022

Despite its narrative exaggerations, A Weekend Away is an enjoyable thriller thanks to the escalation of its tension and effective execution. Full Review in Spanish

This is the kind of movie actresses make when they wish to prove theyre more than just a pretty face - or are desperate to be taken seriously. Meester wears no make-up, dresses frumpy, puts on a few pounds to play a post-partum mom, and goes method.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Mar 4, 2022

Trash can be dumb, but it can't be annoying.

| Original Score: C- | Mar 4, 2022

Fast-moving enough to provide a decent night’s disposable home entertainment for viewers whose expectations aren’t geared any higher.

| Mar 4, 2022

The film manages to craft some solid suspense and keeps you glued with a quick pace and some unexpected characters in a truly alluring location.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 3, 2022
