'The Weekend Away' is my kind of movie. Grounded, twisted, mysterious fun. When I watch these movies I'm not interested in judging the actors or assessing the depth of the dialogue. I just want a fun and interesting story that is going to keep me guessing right until the end. And that's exactly what this delivers.
The movie begins with an image from later on in the movie. I know why they do this, because they have to hook the audience in immediately, yet there is nothing interesting enough early in the movie to do it, but it drives me crazy when they do. They are taking away a reveal in the movie and robbing us of experiencing it at the part of the movie we should be.
There's a lot going on in this movie. It does a good job of juggling all the characters and giving them all different reasons why they could or could not be involved in the crime. It's short and sharp at only 90 minutes and never outstays its welcome. I had a really good time with this movie. 8/10.
