The Weekend

I like the movie, but the main character is a bit much at times. She is going for the awkward black girl thing but over does it. Borderline rude and childish.

There comedy was well written and crafty. The acting was definitely on par. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The leading actress indeed light up this story. She's funny but in a very natural way, one of the few can do that.

Stand-up comedian Zadie (Sasheer Zamata) travels to her parents rural Bed & Breakfast where her ex-boyfriend Bradford (Tone Bell) will be there with his girlfriend of two years Margo (DeWanda Wise). They'll be joined by a guest at the hotel Aubrey (Y'lan Noel), who has just learned his long time live-in partner has broken up with him.

Thus, the movie, written and directed by Stella Meghie, will focus on the interpersonal relations between the guests over one weekend. Unfortunately, I just found the dialogue here to be awkward, strained, and, at times, mean-spirited and I was not able to connect with most of the characters.

Overall, the actors here all have good screen presence and I liked the eclectic soundtrack, but, for me, it was just not very entertaining.

In my opinion, this movie was just ok. I really didn't understand the purpose of Zadie bringing/inviting her ex-boyfriend to the family's house (bed and breakfast). Zadie acted like a weird, immature child....which is very confusing. I'm not sure what was going on. Acting was mediocre at best. Just trash
