Reviewing Movies

Leo appears to involve the adult Stephen just released from prison reliving his childhood as he writes about it culminating in the events that led up to his being sent to prison. The child Leo is father to the man and the detached lack of motherhood shown him as a child leads to the withdrawn child he becomes in his adult years. How wise it was to return to the town in which he grew up is open to interpretation. Certainly it contains a parcel of strange characters. This is not a happy movie and contains no Hollywood happy endings but a made in Britain Art House finish. It seems much longer than its 104 minutes unfolding in its own unhurried convoluted manner.
