Le Week-End

In the end, you just don’t care about the two protagonists. They come across as whinging losers; so “in touch with their unhappiness” you wonder why they don’t jump off a bridge. Sure, life’s hard; you don’t always get what you want, etc., but wishing you’d done something else, been somebody else, etc. is fairly pathetic behaviour that just doesn’t deserve a sympathetic response.

I watched this movie during a 13 hour flight and I still thought that it was a waste of my time. The main characters switch so quickly from being romantic to total disgust with each other, that their emotions don't seem real in either side. By the end, I really could not care what was the outcome and I didn't care about their miserable marriage. Even when the acting is good, the story line falters and is quite depressing.

Horrible, boring, unbelievable, irritating, boring…and what’s with that ending…I’m so unmoved, I don’t even have the energy to go into any real detail as to why this was an utter waste of time. I’ve had enough of Jeff Goldblum’s trademark halting speech and mannerisms; once charming, they just grate on my nerves now. Don’t bother.

I like all of the actors, and I'm a fan of dramatic comedies. But watching Le Week-End felt like watching dinner guests argue. Uncomfortable. Unpleasant. And, I decided after more than an hour of viewing time, unnecessary. I turned it off, and felt better.

If you enjoy listening to your bipolar grandparents discuss their sex life, then this movie is for you. It is a complete mess of a movie, with characters you can't like, trying to evaluate their 30 year marriage. Only problem is, they are both INSANE. Call it an ArtHouse Film, or call it what it is - a pretentious hot mess.

Not because it’s set there, but the characters and story are tres French! I loved it, even in the painfully honest scenes..Great acting, great story….maybe you have to be pre-Iphone generation to enjoy it? I don’t get the bad reviews but to each his/her own

One of the best films available for download. Well-written, acted, and mature in its intention. Don't believe the rare disappointment expressed by viewers who are obviously too young to appreciate this honest and realistic film about marriage and what happens to some people later in life when they look back across the years and then around at where they are. The result is a satisfying metaphor that sets all of us who have lived past fifty squarely on our feet in the middle of the kind of happiness that anyone would embrace because it doesn't cost a dime. More than worth your time and the asking price for admission. But if you can't concentrate for more than five minutes don't rent this film. While it demands of you attention to detail, it is engaging and doesn't tie the story up in details. Who among us really would't want to find ourselves in this couple's shoes where love is anytime you're happy. Jeff Goldblum's character is so generous as is his performance.

It was an adventure I enjoyed taking with the characters. Have felt many of the same feelings as she has and he as well. Watch this Film. Good Fun

Couldn’t make it to the good part - not sure there is a good part, as i turned it off a half hour in.

Don’t bother. Sad pathetic script. Don’t waste your money
