dave s 02/07/2023 After having left her family and moving to Mexico City, Laura (Monica del Carmen) confines herself to her small apartment, spending her days watching television, crossing the days off of the calendar, spying on the neighbors, and eating food from the can. 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 lucca b 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.

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.
