Leave your thoughts about Long Weekend.
| UproxxVince ManciniIt’s incredibly difficult to pull off, this delicate dance between grounded enough but not mundane, yet Long Weekend, the unlikeliest of movies, does it shockingly well. The ending is satisfying but ambiguous enough to dream, ultimately ephemeral but with an enduring sense memory. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperA nice little gem of escapist entertainment that keeps us guessing until the very end, which is corny as all get-out and maybe I even got something in my eye. |
| Screen RantMae AbdulbakiWith strong characters and a twist that meaningfully adds to their story, Long Weekend is an engaging romantic tale that offers a satisfying journey. |
| VarietyCourtney HowardThe soulful, comforting sentiments at the core of Basilone’s feature are really what ring true. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckClever enough to not take his plot too seriously while fully indulging in its sentimentality, the filmmaker has crafted an undeniably feel-good romantic comedy. You'll have to try hard not to fall under its spell. |
| Chicago TribuneKatie WalshWhile the sentiments feel authentic, the ludicrous plot, filled with holes, doesn’t do the emotional aspects of the story any service. |
| New York PostJohnny OleksinskiBasilone’s movie becomes an intriguing puzzle that frequently bugs you, but you’re nonetheless determined to make it to the end. |
| IndieWireDavid EhrlichWittrock and Chao are both enormously likeable in their roles, even if Basilone’s derivative script often dilutes the organic chemistry between them in order to maintain the integrity of its plot. |
| Screen DailyTim GriersonWittrock and Chao have such a spark that it’s disappointing that Long Weekend is ultimately one more picture about how an amazing woman helps a nice but ordinary guy turn his life around. Chao’s lively performance — not to mention the audience — deserves better. |
| Movie NationRoger MooreAs in reality, the best part of the story of any such romance is that bowled-over introduction. It’s every complication that intrudes after that which becomes a drag, and becomes the part we forget or wish we could. |
