Armando B. @Knightowl_1991 Apr 17 I had to do a rewatch on this movie, I have some different thoughts about this movie after rewatching it, On my last review I mention some things reallyu going to change. Leap year most known as Ano Bisiesto is well done movie, and is not for everyone that is for sure, We see our main lead living a lonely life and just a really depressing life, The director delivers some of the best long shots on every scene of the movie, The movie is so depressing as I mention above that it gets worst when she meets a guy that is just as worst as her, and that's what makes this movie more depressing, Yes some scenes are really hard to watch, The director gives us a movie that you either going to like or hate of whatever we are being shown, Me personally it was good movie , very hard to watch and really depressing, would not recommend if you are really sensitive on hard scenes to watch, Leap Year is one of those films that I would watch this only 2 times and probably not watch it again in a while.

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.

However, the acting was good & their relationship was touching. See more 09/30/2021 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. See more lucca b @RT71313241 11/27/2020 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. See more 12/10/2018 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.
