Review of The United States of Leland (2003) by Katarina S — 17 Jan 2012
A very unusual, complicated, peculiar movie. The psychology behind "The United States of Leland" is a really taugh one, in order to understand what's going on in the movie you'll have to pay close attention and put all the pieces together -- I did like the way this movie was put together, my brain appreciated the fact that I had to go back and forward from scene to scene. It just felt right in this case.
Also, this is one of those movie that make you think. During these 105 minutes you follow a path that tries to explain why a kid would do what Leland did, and the 'best' part is that at the end of the movie you can kind of understand his reasons. A brilliant script, good acting by all actors involved -- it could have been better, an unforgettable cult, but for some reason it didn't hit its buttons hard enough.
Really enjoyable. And recommended.
