WEEKEND

After a drunken house party with his straight mates, Russell heads out to a gay club. Just before closing time he picks up Glen but what's expected to be just a one-night stand becomes something else, something special. Andrew Haigh’s second feature focusses in on the real and uncomfortable possibility of finding love, even through a haze of expectations and disappointments. Set in Nottingham, detailed and natural, it’s infectious fondness for ordinary humanity shines out.
