The Weekend Reviews
RogerEbert.com
Matt Fagerholm
The Weekend quickly proves to be the mopiest comedy in many a moon.
indieWire
Kate Erbland
Meghie is adept at sliding between subplots and mixing her characters into talky combinations, all the better to maximize the film's slim 86-minute running time, but it's Zamata and her Zadie who steal nearly every moment.
Film Threat
Lorry Kikta
The Weekend explores all kinds of relationships dynamics in its' rather short run time, and also manages to have some great cinematography and production design (courtesy of Kris Belchevski and Cindy Chao & Michele Yu respectively) to boot.
Mediaversity Reviews
Li Lai
The Weekend feels quietly radical with its rendering of Black characters in roles we normally see reserved for the white upper middle class.
National Newspaper Publishers Association
Dwight Brown
This is the ultimate date movie, if you like making fun of your ex's new lover.

Michael Dequina
Zamata is not only deadly with her precision-timed one-liners but piercing in the more dramatic beats.
FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)
Tim Cogshell
The process of how [her] pain becomes comedy is very interesting to watch.
Variety
Guy Lodge
Notwithstanding any comparisons, there's more assured personality here than there was in her last feature, the bright, proficient but somewhat synthetic big-studio teen romance "Everything, Everything."
Los Angeles Times
Kimber Myers
It drags a bit at times, especially as it winds down, but it remains a film you want to spend more time with.
Shadow and Act
Aramide Tinubu
Luckily, Meghie and the cast's ability to tap into a great deal of humor with a whole lot of energy helps to minimize the cringeworthy aspect of some of the unfortunate circumstances the characters find themselves in.
Hollywood Reporter
David Rooney
Laced with tart humor and sharp observations about black female identity, the majority of them delivered with spiky insouciance by Sasheer Zamata.
Cinema Sentries
Matthew St. Clair
The ladies are the strong center of this breezy and completely ingenious romantic comedy.
Decider
John Serba
The Weekend endears us to its characters, inspires plenty of laughs and has us wondering if Zamata is a movie star on the rise.
Cinemalogue
Todd Jorgenson
The level of authenticity within the intriguing character dynamics, bolstered by fine performances, provides some sensitively rendered surprises amid the obligatory relationship dirty laundry.
Crooked Marquee
Marshall Shaffer
The Weekend is a little too leadenly paced to work as comedy, but Meghie settles [the film] nicely into a tonal groove as an earnest, emotional relationship drama.
Battleship Pretension
David Bax
The Weekend gets off to a decidedly rough start that eventually becomes just another part of the movie's shaggy dog lovability by which I was, at least partially, won over.
Moveable Fest
Stephen Saito
For those who saw Meghie's stellar debut "Jean of the Joneses," "The Weekend" is the proper follow-up, a brutally funny and whipsmart comedy that goes so many places that few others have, even though it is largely confined to one location.
We Live Entertainment
Ashley Menzel
What works so well in The Weekend is the hilarious and authentic script written by Stella Meghie.
Reel Film Reviews
David Nusair
Filmmaker Stella Meghie kicks The Weekend off with a strained, unfunny standup set from Zamata's character that instantly sets a tone of forced artificiality...
Black Girl Nerds
Jamie Broadnax
Sasheer Zamata finally got a chance to deliver comedy in a way she wasn't able to do on SNL and we see her fully for the talented comedian that she is.
