The Weekend Away

What makes The Weekend Away great is that it doesn't waste time and gets straight to the point. Right away we're in beautiful Split, right away we know roughly the characters of the leads and what stage of life they're in. But slowly we find out that nothing is as it seems, and the classic "unraveling" begins. The whole thing is in the spirit of the light crime books popular nowadays (mostly with women). What they have in common with this film is that they do a good job of entertaining you, shocking you a little at times, and you don't want to tear yourself away from them but given how many of them are being cranked out every month you forget about them in a few days. Anyway, it was nice to see Blair in something again after a while. And this role, in my biased opinion, was perfect for her. 3.5 stars (07.03.2022)

Die Schauplätze haben mich wohl am meisten gereizt, eine Damenexkursion in Split anzusiedeln kann keine schlechte Wahl sein. In zweiter Linie war ich an Leighton Meester interessiert, die ich seit Gossip Girl schon lange nicht mehr gesehen habe. Und sie hat sich sehr verändert... Ich habe die Geschichte genossen, jeder war verdächtig, ich habe die Pointe nicht erraten, als entspannender Thriller hat er seinen Zweck erfüllt. Bessere drei Sterne. (29.12.2022)
