Director Gonzalo Justiniano beautifully captures the fishing village but never quite captures the story. Go to Full Review V.A. Musetto New York Post 11/21/2003
2/4
El Leyton never rises above the level of a soap opera, although the steamy sex and Lo's abundant nudity might make it worthwhile for some viewers. Go to Full Review Stephen Holden New York Times 11/20/2003
2.5/5
Does a fine job of building up a sense of dread as its adulterous relationship gathers steam. So it's all the more disappointing when the movie ultimately collapses. Go to Full Review Apollo Guide 05/13/2005

3.50/5
Not only in its plot, but also in its male rivalry does El Leyton seem like Harold Pinter's Betrayal set by the sea. Go to Full Review Eric Monder Film Journal International 11/29/2003
Even with all the flaws in the characters (and the filmmaking), we become intrigued. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
