Intelligent and holds your attention, like a mystery story unraveling.

Mr. Showbiz Kevin Maynard
It's a coffee-table movie, but what saves it are a couple of performances.Rowlands puts a spin on every line reading, Harris quietly mines regret, and Shields, assured and sexy, has never been this good.

Chicago Reader Ted Shen
Rowlands and Unger deliver sensitive performances, Shields is surprisingly good.

TV Guide Ken Fox
Thank God for Brooke Shields: Spitting spite with every remark she hurls at her long-suffering mother, she's a revelation.

New York Post Lou Lumenick
You rarely see movies as dramatically uneven as The Weekend, which has a dreadful, one-star first half - followed by an interesting, three-star conclusion.

Variety Ken Eisner
Despite some memorable high points, pic plays like "Love! Valour! Compassion!" -- without the laughs.

You have to admire the effort its attractive cast expends pumping life into stilted, flowery dialogue that confuses pretentious attitudinizing with profound insight.

Bloodless, lip-biting psycho-carnage.
