Entertainment Reviews:
It's a gripping, mysterious use of no-budget cinema at its finest, and an intimate character study with surprising emotional power.

A piece of vile misogynist trash.

Nothing about Leap Year plays out exactly like you expect, and Rowe prefers to send you home with enigmatic questions instead of clear-cut answers.
Miami Herald
Rating: 3/4 --
It's not because of the amount of sex and nudity that the word "daring" comes to mind in describing Mónica del Carmen's performance, a combination of subtle vulnerability and abandonment.

"Leap Year" might be too much for some audiences, but it is a potent and surprising work.

Rating: 3/4 --
To Rowe's credit, this isn't just a movie about sex. It's a compassionate study of human loneliness.

Shocks only with its candor and complete lack of dramatic manipulation.

Product Description:
A lonely woman's search for the love she needs takes her into dark and unexpected places in this drama from writer and director Michael Rowe. Laura (Monica del Carmen) is a writer edging into middle age who leads a drab and lonely life, usually spending her evenings alone. Laura sometimes ventures out to pick up men and bring them home for one-night stands, but none of them go anywhere for her until she meets Arturo (Gustavo Sánchez Parra). On their first night together, Laura discovers that Arturo enjoys rough sex, and to her surprise, she likes it, too. As Laurta and Arturo become lovers, she opens herself up to a increasingly broad range of sadomasochistic activities, which brings her greater satisfaction and self-understanding but also puts her into very real danger. AÑO BISIESTO (aka LEAP YEAR) was the first feature from Rowe, an Australian native working in Mexico; the film was an official selection at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival.
