- 75RogerEbert.comMarya E. GatesRogerEbert.comMarya E. GatesThe Weekend Away is the best kind of purposely preposterous potboiler. The scenery is gorgeous, the twists keep the adrenaline pumping, and the performances are memorable. Even though you might not remember everything that happens, you’ll have a good time while it lasts.
