A film in which different elements from various sub-genres (i.e. supernatural) are mixed perhaps to see what would work best in a future experiment... [Full review in Spanish]

Eye for Film

Well structured and benefiting from appropriately moody cinematography by Sjur Aarthun, the film is ably carried by the German-born von Rittberg.

Rated: 3.5/5

Leave tells a story about the monsters of humanity, but is shy about terrifying its audience—a tragic flaw that cuts the genre’s volume like unplugging an amplifier mid-performance.

Rated: 5.0/10

Fiction Horizon

A missed opportunity of a potentially intriguing supernatural horror-thriller.

Hey, Have You Seen ...?

The answers ultimately come very quickly at the eleventh hour, tidily wrapping up what is an overly drawn-out narrative of repetitive examples of patriarchal domineering. I think von Rittberg [does] a good job keeping us invested, though.

Rated: 6/10

Gosh, I just had a hard time not being annoyed by protagonist. Your classic miss know it all who makes stupid mistake after stupid mistake, and feels she’s entitled to whatever she wants! They could have developed the story better if they’d not focus so much on this Gen-Z entitled character.

After being abandoned as a child in a cemetery, a young woman embarks on a dangerous journey as she uncovers the occult forces behind her traumatic past. "Leave" is a thriller with a supernatural layer in its plot. Despite a promising premise, the story fails to deliver the explosive boiling moment typically expected in a slow-burn horror movie.

A crítica pode ter gostado, mas é um filme bem mediano. Digo isso, pois o roteiro tem até um charme, um suspense, mas quando o climax ocorre, você percebe que foi enganado, e os minutos finais terminam numa monotonia. Ainda existem algumas pontas soltas, talvez ocorridas por uma edição descuidada.

The most positive affirmation for child abuse I have ever seen. I wanted to strangle both kids. Is that papa?! You mean the guy banging on the door to get in where your dad just used his palm imprint to open the whole bunker…yeah I'm sure it's papa - oh and they their their mother. FFWD 20 years and this will be amazing MST3K fodder. Asmus deserves 10 bearings per episode - why, what's wrong, who was that? Shut up kid, this is the end of days not a playful learning anbex

Leave ist ein Horror- und Mystery-Thriller von Alex Herron… Eine junge Frau versucht, ihre Herkunft zu finden, nachdem sie als Säugling auf einem Friedhof ausgesetzt wurde, eingewickelt in ein Tuch mit satanischen Symbolen, aber je näher sie den Antworten kommt… Leave ist eher ein gewöhnlicher religiöser Thriller, ein Mystery Thriller mit Horror-Elementen… Das Tempo der Geschichte scheint ein wenig langatmig und stellenweise auch etwas vorhersehbar… Die Schauspielerei der Hauptdarsteller ist erstaunlich gut…
