Movie Info

On a summer weekend, John and Marian Kerr, a wealthy couple in their forties, invite Lyle, a gay art critic and former lover of John's half-brother Tony--who died of AIDS exactly a year before--to their country house in upstate New York. Lyle invites his new lover Robert, a poor landscape painter, along for the weekend. The addition of Robert and a visiting neighbor, Laura, disrupts the balance and creates tension between all of them by exposing their common fears. They are each in their own way

Unrated, 1 hr. 37 min.

If I had to spend the weekend with these whiny, pretentious characters, I'd jump in the lake and never come up.

An engaging drama about grief based on a novel by Peter Cameron.

A slow, ponderous and pretentious film, it has a treacly score that fills every crevice of the set.

It gets pretty thick, but, thankfully, some of the performances cut through the preciousness.
