This dramatic musical manages to conquer me with the biography of Soviet rock legends Víktor Tsoi and Mike Naumenko. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 26, 2020

If you can disregard the derivativeness, this has some decent music and charismatic performances, and it provides some insights into the Western aspirations of Soviet youth culture.

Kirill Serebrennikov's LETO is a tribute to music, dreams of youth and the power - and beauty of ambition.

What it lacks in discipline it makes up for with a whole lot of feelings. Pure, deep, preciously undefined feelings.

An incredibly imagined film.

The unreal musical sequences in which crowds burst into renditions of Psycho Killer and The Passenger are fun, yet the film seems a bit too pleased with itself for coming up with something Danny Boyle might have tried 20 years ago.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 19, 2019

Don't let the premise intimidate you.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 16, 2019

A blaze of black-and-white with amped-up sound.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Aug 14, 2019

An earnest portrait of a little-known era in music history.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Aug 14, 2019

Maybe you had to be there, but it's a movie's job to take us, and this one gets only partway.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Aug 1, 2019

Leto sadly feels more like the conclusion of summer than the start of the year's brightest season, and is too devoid of energy to warrant a recommendation to anyone other than diehard fans of Serebrennikov's prior work.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 26, 2019

It's all too inane and superficial. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 19, 2019

Leto has many more reflections than meets the eye, and that, like a good record, like a good song, like a good chorus, is invaluable. [Full review in Spanish]

With an exquisite black and white photograph, Leto uses another edge in the repressive repertory of the Cold War. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 14, 2019

Most rock biopics center on the excess, but given the events that take place in Leto, the film strikes a sharp bittersweet tone that places you in the atmosphere of underground rock in the '80s in Russia. [Full review in Spanish]

Perhaps, such a rebellious force as rock and roll in such a locked down society is interesting enough to make the film work, but the unique and fantasy elements that flourish throughout offer just enough to keep your attention and interest.

| Jul 9, 2019

Its boundary-breaking musical numbers feel like the spirit of rebellious creativity embodied, and every frame exudes a joyous sense of freedom.

| Jun 25, 2019

[T]he movie is less compelling as a narrative than it is as a recreation of the atmosphere of a certain time and place.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 21, 2019

Filmed in black and white, Leto recovers with scenographic success the gray atmospheres of Leningrad. [Full Review in Spanish]
