Rating: 3.5/4 --
By its ambiguous yet hopeful end, we're at one with Nick and Meg: Sometimes, you just have to dance. Somehow, you go on.
Seattle Times
3.5 stars out of 4 -- A wistfully rendered yet often barbed account of longtime marrieds who find themselves dissatisfied and drifting apart while on an anniversary trip to Paris.

Kureishi's craft lies in not making these characters too lovable, or even tolerable....On screen they become, in all their disgruntlement, quite mesmerizing.

For better or for worse, Le Week-End relies a great deal on its two central performers, and fortunately Broadbent and Duncan are in fine fettle here.

As this pair mooch about town, Broadbent and Duncan negotiate their transitions in mood with a style that effortlessly conveys the sense of an entire life unfolding.

This is a beautifully executed, fearlessly truthful and droll film on the emotional politics of reinvention.

Once the characters start explaining the sources of their unhappiness, the drama becomes less compelling, largely because their problems seem far from insurmountable.
