Nights and Weekends

So close to real life, it's barely a movie.

— Sofia Resnick, Austin Chronicle

Authentically raw...courageous in its high-wire, soul baring acting.

Mattie and James are in love. But too many mornings and too many miles apart have taken a toll on them. As they struggle with the distance between New York and Chicago, their visits become reminders of the difficulties, not the pleasures, of their relationship. Joe Swanberg and Greta Gerwig follow HANNAH TAKES THE STAIRS with NIGHTS AND WEEKENDS, an intimate portrayal of longing and confusion. This time Swanberg co-stars with Gerwig, and Gerwig co-directs with Swanberg, creating a film that resonates deeply and leaves scars that fade but can’t heal.
