Set in the American South, LEO tells the story of Stephen (Joseph Fiennes), a parolee who has struck up a pen-pal friendship with Leo, the son of the depressed and fiery Mary (Elisabeth Shue). As Stephen tries to reacquaint himself with the outside world and stay out of trouble, Mary struggles to come to terms with a tragic car accident that took the life of her wife and daughter. Written by Amir and Massy Tadjedin, LEO is a somber film that also stars Sam Shepard, Dennis Hopper, and Deborah Unger. [More]

Reviews for Leo

Newcomer Mehdi Norowzian delivers a flawed film that is nonetheless entertaining.
