dave s After having left her family and moving to Mexico City, Laura (Monica del Carmen) confines herself to her small apartment, spending her days watching television, crossing the days off of the calendar, spying on the neighbors, and eating food from the can. To escape the abject loneliness of her life, she finds some degree of comfort in the arms of the men she brings home from clubs. Thanks to del Carmen's performance and the austere presentation (the film is filled with lengthy stationary shots, mirroring the static nature of Laura's existence), Leap Year is effective throughout in capturing the agony of unwanted solitude. The progressively more violent sexuality throughout is painful to watch and will turn most viewers away, but it is testament to the fact that the protagonist, sadly, prefers brutality to her own isolation. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review georgan g 3 & 1/4 stars, which is good since I'm not into rom-com genre. As usual, the story was silly & not believable. However, the acting was good & their relationship was touching. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Transgressive and unexpectedly hard to watch, the movie portrays loneliness in a never seen before way, as well as offers a visit to usually ignored charachters' intimacy and everyday life, creating an umpredictable tale of ordinary people that features career-best performance from Mónica del Carmen. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review lucca b A haunting, disturbing, gripping, thrilling, unsettling and unpredictable exploration of loneliness, sexuality, emotional disorders, sadomasoquism and toxic relationships, anchored by a deft direction from Michael Rowe and a complex lead performance from Monica del Carmen. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member This film was at first sight a turn off, the main actress at first seems like a self indulgent loser. The sex is honestly portrayed as empty, unlike Hollywood movies which tend to glamorize situations, in this film the sex scenes are depressing rather than unfilleting. I did understand why some reviewers were put off but I appreciate it rather than enjoyed it. So for this film set on its view apart, I give " Ano Bisiesto KA Leap Year " a D. Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review john m One of the most disturbing films I've seen possibly, just for its complete restraint in exploring the uncomfortable relationship between these two leads. A lot of art house films of this sort have similar scenes but I feel for shock value, while here, it's extremely purposeful in portraying an empty existence and complete meaningless life to the lead. Undeniably intense. While I feel the ending is too optimistic given the tone of the film overall, this is a highly entertaining sex film in the most twisted way.
