The Weekend

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.

Nothing groundbreaking but enjoyable to watch. I did love though that the main actress was heavily melanated and had natural hair. The fact that two gorgeous Black men were vying for her attention was wonderful as well. We don't see that in movies too often.

Yhaha yhaa yhaa not really, this film doesn't cut it at all. The characters did their part but the script is dull.

My name is Bruce Davis. I am an African American Actor and I just want to say Thank you Stela for giving us something different in African American film. This is what I've been waiting for! Bravo!!! Thanks again
