Review of Weekend

Went to the Palace Barracks in Brisbane tonight with good gay friends to see "Weekend" - with confidence that it would be good, due to glowing reviews by respected Australian critics. I found this to be an intensely real film about lust, communication, honesty and love. There's so much to like about "Weekend":- beautiful direction and a very involving script, faultless acting, and truly astounding sound design (with immediately impressive original music too). I loved it. Don't wait for the DVD or Blu-Ray - this is a worthy big screen / big sound system experience to share with friends or a room full of strangers (I like that you hear people around you laugh, gasp, tutt and emote - and not in unison.)
