Review of Leona

Leona (2018)
3/10
Couldn't get past 30 minutes...

Warning: Spoilers
This movie is so choppy, there's no transition nor reason for anything. A random stranger talks to Ariella (Leona) in the street for half a second and 2 scenes later they're on a date? And another scene later they're going steady?

Cue the cliche cultural "shocks" of every Mexican romance movie - he takes her to eat "street food", to noisy bars, etc. And she's just SO fascinated. I stopped at that point.

I don't have much more to say as I didn't watch the full film, but this movie really pales in comparison to The Awakening of Motti Wolkenbruch, another recent title about a Jew being tempted by dating a non-Jew, dealing with the family fallout, and eventually "finding their own path".

BORING.
