A film like this reminds us of everything that is wrong with Hollywood, in that it participates in none of the usual big-budget antics seen in mainstream movies. The scatalogical themes in Leolo contain infinitely more beauty than aything to come out of LA in decades. Visually and emotionally stunning, Leolo effortlessly blurs reality and fantasy in such a way that their disparity really doesn't matter any more. It is a very sad film in many ways, but its resolution only furthers the weight of its theme that what is fleeting is perhaps more important finally.
