Synopsis
On a Friday night after a drunken house party with his straight mates, Russell heads out to a gay club, alone and on the pull. Just before closing time he picks up Glen but what's expected to be just a one-night stand becomes something else, something special. That weekend, in bars and in bedrooms, getting drunk and taking drugs, telling stories and having sex, the two men get to know each other. It is a brief encounter that will resonate throughout their lives. The Weekender is both an honest and unapologetic love story between two guys and a film about the universal struggle for an authentic life in all its forms. It is about the search for identity and the importance of making a passionate commitment to your life.

Critics' reviews
- "Bittersweet, achingly authentic, and so intimate it almost feels invasive"
- "So much movie can be made with so little plot, given sufficient humanity and dramatic tension."
- "If you don't see yourself in this movie, you need to get a life.
- "This is a smart, sensitive, perceptive film, with actors well suited to the dialogue."
