A good “read”…
I thought this was a very brave film. The film makers didn’t shy away from portraying reality, at least a particular slice of it. They offered up light and shadow without too much commentary, simply portraying it in its subtle and not so subtle complexity. I liked and disliked all the characters. I judged some of their actions, while still caring and having compassion. Patricia Clarkson gives an evocative, haunting performance. The bulk of the cast (all the main characters) are equally believable and nuanced. Together they create a world that doesn’t apologize for what it is, that allows us into the lifestyle of the few, while sharing the fear, love and unskillfulness that in part of humanity as a whole. I liked that the film doesn’t tell us what to think and feel. It offers up the intimate interactions of one family, and leaves the work of perspective up to us. THE LAST WEEKEND felt more like delving into a good novel than watching a Hollywood movie, which made at least this viewer quite happy she risked the unknown and watched it.
Unsympathetic people doing uninteresting things
I apologize for this review but this movie left me flat. “Last Weekend” is about a Labor Day weekend with a rich family at their Tahoe summer home. There’s mom, dad, two grown sons, their significant others, and perhaps three more house guests thrown in. They’re all staying in the fabulous family home on the shore of pristine Lake Tahoe. The movie’s a slice of life from this wealthy family’s songbook. Like most families, there’s a familial core slathered with dysfunction. There are always things that family members don’t like about their parents and siblings. I just had a hard time finding a single sympathetic character in the entire ensemble, which is a shame because this is a cast of very capable actors. I just didn’t find the story to be up to their abilities.If you want to know whether rich people have the same problems as everyone else, this movie’s answer is “no.” They show little appreciation for the spectacular lake, the surroundings, each other, or the impressive summer home. I couldn’t find anything to engage my interest or my sympathy. This movie reduced me to simple observer. At the end of the film, I don’t think any of the characters were significantly changed. Perhaps that’s what happens in real life, but it’s not what I look for in a movie.
We saw this movie through the San Jose Camera Cinema Club. It was the last film of the club’s 2013/2014 season. We look forward to the next one.
