Leto's reviews
Media reviews
The Wrap
"Part fond remembrance of an early-?80s Leningrad rock scene and part glam-rock fever dream, ?Leto? asks an audience to surrender to excess and at times to silliness, and it richly rewards them for doing so".
Los Angeles Times
"'Leto' is undeniably woozy and borderline self-indulgent, which is to say it pretty much nails its moment".
Time
'Leto' is one of those movies that whisks us into a world that feels both familiar and fresh, like a sense memory of a life we might have lived if we?d been born in another decade or on another continent.
Indiewire
It?s a shambling, transportive, and semi-tragic story about a fleeting past where anything seemed possible.
The Hollywood Reporter
At heart, it's more concerned with capturing the feel of the early '80s, the paranoia but also spirit of communal life in crowded apartment blocks.
Variety
If not as overtly political as ?The Student,? Leto nonetheless represents about as flamboyant a statement of free artistic expression as Serebrennikov could make at this moment: There?s certainly nothing contained or inhibited about its celebration of artists who themselves were given little support or leeway by the Soviet government.
The A.V. Club
"The film works best as a modest portrait of what the rock ?n? roll life looked like in this time and place".
The Guardian
"Leto is a film with some wonderful moments and some slightly forgettable stretches ? like an album with one or two wonderful tracks".
