But what&rsquo;s great about Weekend isn&rsquo;t the plot, it&rsquo;s the feeling of the thing: the languid moments in bed, the tentativeness interacting with a stranger, the passion that comes with exploring a new body. Like Glen and Russell, in alternating moments of hope and dread as they think they&rsquo;re getting to know each other, we want the relationship to succeed so badly we can taste it in the popcorn. Sure, Glen gets on a train on his way to Oregon to be an artist, but we know he&rsquo;s coming back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8.
