Uncompromisingly honest film about gay sex, intimacy and love, carried by two charming, natural leading actors: looks, drinks, dancing, cruising. Russell is on the prowl - glances, drinks, dancing, cruising - and just before the lights go on, he takes Glen home. After an alcohol-soaked night, everything points to a one-night stand, but the obligatory phone number exchange proves otherwise. Just a few hours later, the two see each other again. Throughout the rest of the weekend - with alcohol and drugs, in bars and beds, and telling stories and having sex - Russell and Glen embark on a complicated and highly emotional romance. Director Andrew Haigh's relationship drama was showered with festival invites and prizes.
