Never to be confused for the rom-com starring Amy Adams - though that would be the mother of all video-store mix-ups - Leap Year lets actions speak louder than words, and the actions here are shockingly explicit. Read full review

A gripping, mysterious use of no-budget cinema at its finest, and an intimate character study with surprising emotional power. Read full review

Nothing about Leap Year plays out exactly like you expect, and Rowe prefers to send you home with enigmatic questions instead of clear-cut answers. You may not fully understand Laura, but chances are you won't be able to forget her. Read full review

There are trifling signs of freshmanship, but also a steady observant eye, and in the end Leap Year bears heartbreaking witness to hopeless depression, isolation, and the failure of sex as few movies ever have. Read full review

A tough psychological drama, it may stretch some audience sensibilities. Read full review

For those who can't handle graphic scenes of golden showers and cigarettes ground into bare breasts, Leap Year will feel more like a blind leap into the void of art-house cinema du extreme, South of the Border division, than a portrait of urban ennui. Read full review

Making sadomasochism appear less erotic than stamp collecting, Leap Year is a slow flare of emotional agony. Read full review

A weirdly entertaining little film that doesn't exactly have a very strong nor understandable story, but it is just quick enough to appreciate the bizarre behavior and graphic, intense sex scenes.
