An absolute cinematic disaster.

Jaded 74-year-old reptile Leo has been stuck in the same Florida classroom for decades with his terrarium-mate turtle. When he learns he only has one year left to live, he plans to escape to experience life on the outside but instead gets caught up in the problems of his anxious students — including an impossibly mean substitute teacher.

Leo has the emotional range of a fridge magnet.

Laughed twice during Leo. Once was a sneeze.

Cried during Leo. Mostly at the ticket price.

Hot Take: Leo's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece

Look, I wanted to love Leo. The trailer had me hyped. But sitting through the second hour felt like a homework assignment. The dialogue is exposition stacked on exposition and the score keeps telling me how to feel.

Unpopular opinion: Leo is the most overrated film of the decade

Just got out of Leo and I'm convinced critics are being paid in residuals. Two genuinely good scenes do not make a film. Convince me otherwise.

Why does no one talk about how mid the writing in Leo actually is?

Rewatched Leo last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
