Weekend

perfectly captured the isolation queer people feel, and how we as well as the society contribute to that isolation. and how we're confined into the conformity that (straight) society imposes on us.  like how russell never talks about any of his dates, one night stands, lovers, whoever he loves or sleeps with or logs into his diary to jamie. because "it feels weird" and that's something a lot of us deal with, not being able to talk about a whole part of our lives to others, whether that's our own internal homophobia, or comphet, our own struggles, or the (straight) societal's expectations that we conform to and so we don't hold hands or kiss in public or be camp or political or just be ourselves.  somehow this resonated with me a lot more than i expected because i've learnt and i assume most have learnt from a young age that we should hide, and we can only show ourselves to other queer people, and even that is only if we're/they're safe.  on an objective perspective, the acting was raw, subtle, real, the dialogues were humorous and serious and relatable, the characters are just people who happens to be gay, but they also encapsulate the experience of being gay very well, the film was quiet, tender, honest, dare i say mundane in a good way (like day-to-day).
