Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

BelSports This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

samsamaellynch Strange obsession with the approaching "leap year" anniversary of 29 February. Del Carmen's performance is powerful and painful. One Location Genre Film Making Masterpiece. There are loads and loads of detailing that can be described about this raw flick. Until finally the ending explains everything for you. But it's not easy to know what to think of it when it finally ends. I was left trying to figure out if I would consider the ending sad or happy. I'm not sure I was satisfied by the ending, but at the same time I thought it was good. I guess some movies are just there, and you can take from it whatever you wish. Albeit this movie delivers intense sense of alienation uncomfortable artistic totality of realism. Truth delivered at its rawest form. Soul- baring piece of cinema whose troubling eroticism is ultimately a vehicle for humane compassion.

hulalalaland I never wrote a review about any movie ever. If I watch any bad film, I just gonna think (well, wasted 2hrs of my life.. okay lets move on) not this one. This one is just scarred me for life. I've never been feminist myself but its just simply stupid. its just make me angry with the man and the woman. Its disgusting, pointless, too much porn action that super unnecessary (ok I watch it one or two actions, cool yeah I got it. no need too much) and BDSM that want to make this movie look a like 50 shades of Grey - Mexican version only poor and more cruel. i live in Bangkok where most of the times, I think of how morally depraved and I feel sad of the situation here as in prostitution and any sort of real life problem for people who faced it. The depression, the loneliness, the hope of from a woman who work here, in a Soi Cowboy or Nana Plaza, to get a man - who maybe one day actually going to care or fall for her. Or at least know their name. You could smell the sadness from hundred yards away if you live here. but this movie is just...... i don't even understand..... like really.......Too many pis***g scene (as the guy pis**d and the woman pis**d in toilet) - if I'm into water sport porn or pis***g movie - i can just use that keyword in any porn siteI feel so frustrated because i hope in the end of the movie - there will be some sick twisted that make me not so evil by watching this. But its not. I just feel like I want to shower and pray to Universe and clean myself for what I just watch. I feel I lost my humanity by watching this movie. I don't get any "moral or life lesson or this is what life nowadays, guys". nope, didn't get that message. nu'uh. zilch. Nada.But then again, thats just my opinion. I realize nobody cares. I just share what i feel now and i feel satisfaction by doing it.I am sure, for you guys who super smart and understand about humanity and real life, maybe you could gain some lesson and found it interesting.For me everything is confusing and frustrating, either the girl want to suicide, or she want this guy to kill her, or is she incest and who took her virginity, nothing is answer. nothing. too foggy like pollution in China. if i want to watch or see something that too frustrating - i could just watch politics or real life news everyday, not a film.

Silver Arrow Laura is a woman living in Mexico in an apartment by herself. She's a loner and works using the computer at her place. Her mother lives far away and she sometimes gets visited by her younger brother. Laura who is a yielding person doesn't want to displease others and tries to give them the impression that everything is normal in her life. When her mother asks her on the telephone what she had for dinner, she replies steak when she apparently eats a can of beans.Laura is having one night stands with different men and when she tries to initiate some form of contact other than purely sexual she gets very disappointed as her lovers do not follow. This changes when she meets Arturo, a man who is interested in rough and even paraphilic sex. They spend time together, talking, eating, watching t.v. It seems that Laura has finally founded the perfect lover and a person who can establish a relationship with. But as the story continues, Laura reveals a family history full of pain and confesses to Arturo that the 29th of February is the day when her dad passed away.Then a day before the anniversary of her father's death she tries to take advantage of Arturo's sadomasochistic preferences and asks him to brutally kill her while having sex. In other words she wants to commit assisted suicide. Laura is a deeply traumatized and lonely person. Something seriously went wrong with her life. Maybe she has been molested as a child, maybe not, but by whom nobody can tell for sure. What's missing in her life is a healthy, fulfilling relationship and some professional therapeutic help so she can stop being victimized and spying on the neighbors reaching for human touch.A film that reminds a lot of Amos Kollek's ''Sue'' (1997) about a tragic woman who is falling apart. Actress Monica del Carmen is very good and although the film takes place entirely in an apartment didn't make me feel discomfort or bored at all. Instead of Arturo who never showed up Laura's brother did. They talked, they remembered, they cried in each other's arms and the 29th of February passed welcoming March and giving Laura who smiles in front of the calendar an opportunity to put her life back together...!

Kookyburra The film's basic premise; and this isn't giving too much away since it's so heavily sign posted very early on, is that a woman must suffer severe abuse at the hands of a man in order to find happiness.Terrible film making. The way the camera lingers over scenes of torture and humiliation as if these things couldn't be illustrated in other ways.It is very possible to portray violence and sexual abuse of women without making it exploitative - Paddy Considine did it in the horrific scenes of 'Tyrannosaur' which, while harrowing, knew where to stop and leave things to the imagination. What really gets me about films like these is that people who know nothing of such abusive dynamics watch them and have the experience normalized. I'm sure many abusive husbands and partners will get great satisfaction seeing how their acts of violence and hate can actually help women (something they probably told themselves all along). This is a film which sends out the wrong message about violence towards women. To come back to 'Tyrannosaur', that film is not without flaws but it at least gets the emotional response of women to abuse right. Women do not just put up with rape and torture and then suddenly get better because of some leap of insight. It may seem that way to an abuser of course which is why 'Leap Year' is the ultimate abuser's fantasy. Told from a male perspective and dwelling obsessively on the imagined nobility of female suffering. A truly dangerous film.
