Don Birnam, a long-time alcoholic, has been sober for ten days and appears to be over the worst... but his craving has just become more insidious. Evading a country weekend planned by his brother and girlfriend, he begins a four-day bender that just might be his last - one way or another.

Editor's Verdict

❌NO

"Despite its release near the holidays, 'The Lost Weekend' does not feature Christmas as a setting, plot driver, or thematic element. The plot revolves entirely around alcoholism and self-destruction, with no meaningful connection to the holiday season."
