Quote:
"The box-office success of Everything, Everything meant that [Stella] Meghie could have easily kept building momentum in the Hollywood studio system. Instead, the director chose to return to independent film with The Weekend—a tightly paced character study that opens up like a perfectly peeled orange. Sweet and intricate."
