If you loved Lean on Pete, try Weekend

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Andrew Haigh, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Lean on Pete, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Weekend is

Here's a film that thinks it's about more than just a weekend. Over a Manchester weekend, Russell and Glen navigate an intense physical and emotional connection. The film is what it is, and that's okay.
