    Potential

    Henry Harper (Rick Gomez) is a successful novelist who has it all. But after surviving a recent trauma he finds himself haunted by a dream that terrifies him. Convinced that the only way to understand what the dream means is to write his way through it, Henry decides to go to a remote second home to begin work on his next novel, a thriller.

    I feel like this film has a lot of potential but never really took off. My interest was not held for much of the (short) duration and that is no compliment. The diner scene is tense and well-acted by everyone, and the "big reveal" there plays out nicely.

    I would have to see this film again to really give it a fair shake, but I have to say that is not a venture I am looking forward to taking any time soon.

    Stunning, brilliant, beautiful!

    This film reached into my soul, shook it around, squeezed the breath out of it then left it stunned and soothed at the same time. I'll give no spoilers or even a synopsis, I recommend you watch it with as little expectation as possible (as I did). I just watched it and had to write my first review because of it, I couldn't even turn off the credits and now I'm staring at a blank screen with a feeling in my heart I've rarely experienced. Fantastic job to all involved .

    Stay.

    Just as a sign of how much this film moved me, this is my first review on IMDb after 3 years of not having much to add or say about countless other movies.

    As other reviewers have written, it's tough to talk about "Leave" without spoiling it.

    The best I can do is recommend you read the synopsis, perhaps watch the trailer and make up your own mind. Don't fall for the abysmal ratings on IMDb. You can leave and dismiss it as I almost did or stay and be surprised. Do what you want.

    You have a choice. One minute into the film and I wasn't sure if this was for me. I chose to let go and enjoy the trip. Turns out this was just what I needed.

    I'd describe it as a slow paced psychological thriller. It's a short movie and it's perfect as it is.

    I can say I've watched this twice in a row and I'm still thinking about it. I cannot recommend this enough.

    Surprising!

    I found this movie super surprising, and way too sad. Usually i don't like sadness in my horrors/thrillers but you really don't see or know what's coming here.

    Certainly worth a watch.

    An Ultimately Rewarding Film with Some Real Surprises

    Although those who strongly prefer solid action-driven drama will probably not like LEAVE, it is a quiet and subtle little film that unpretentiously raises questions about our notions of life, death, and reality. It's both well-acted and well-filmed, albeit draggy in places. I found myself repeatedly asking, "Huh? Where is all this supposed to be going?" Exercising a little patience, however, I found it all tied together, made sense, and "delivered" in the end.

    Since mood and atmosphere are so important in a film of this type, I can see why some people belittle it for being touchy-feely. Nevertheless, LEAVE has a very strong (if not somewhat uneventful) storyline and is head and shoulders above the solipsistic fluff that we are often subjected to these days.
