This movie is a little gem! Great acting, scenario, writing, direction and just an overall great film to enjoy amidst many soulless options out there right now. This could have quickly unraveled in its storyline and gone a totally different way, but everything was so on point that it made for a really enjoyable and interesting experience. I came in with an open mind an absolutely loved it! Highly recommend!!!

. . . win their next World Series in the late 2020's, with the biggest meteor shower in 1,000 years happening around the same time, not to mention that shares of Hyundai will be selling for more than those of Tesla, Amazon, Apple and Game.Stop combined in 2052. These are just a few of the tips that will give LONG WEEKEND viewers a leg up in Life if they just pay attention to this film. On the other hand, those theater goers who kill a big bottle of liquor and pass out drunk like Bart does during his BEING THERE showing at the Hayworth might find themselves holding the hot end of the sparkler.

Young man with a recent history of mental health issues meets a mysterious woman who changes his life.

I was initially expecting this to be a Before Sunrise type film. Two people falling for one another over one long weekend. And that is what it was for a while. Not original, but still charming.

Then as we learn more about the woman, I begin to assume she's got her own mental health issues. Now I'm expecting a Silver Linings Playbook. Two people with problems finding strength from each other. Again not original but would have made sense, especially with the woman's reveal as to why she's there.

But no. The writer decides to throw a curveball that is completely out of the blue. It also renders much of what came before it irrelevant. In fact, none of the film makes sense if you care enough to take the time and really think about it.

That being said, the lead actors had a nice chemistry with Finn Wittrock especially appealing as a leading man. Now someone just needs to give him a better a script.

I'm partly to blame I guess. What did I expect to be released on a non holiday weekend during COVID.
