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]

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

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

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

[It] lacks a solid plot or even much structure -- yet it works beautifully.

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

Not exactly a breezy getaway, the film visits the sites, and drops down on rougher terrain, too.

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

By its ambiguous yet hopeful end, we're at one with Nick and Meg: Sometimes, you just have to dance. Somehow, you go on.

This extra-dry mix of drama and comedy is supposed to reflect the complexities of real life; but as a movie, it's so schematic and schizoid, it leaves us scratching our berets.

Before long the movie -- as neatly constructed as it is -- isn't really behaving like a movie, but more like life, as it's lived by a fractious pair of empty nesters who find themselves at a crossroads.
