Excellent scenes, visual magic, poetic narration
16 July 2019 | by gokselcin – See all my reviews

Leto is one of the most beatiful movies I've recently seen: may be the best one among produced 2018.

Leto, by the sense of its some features, shares magnificent aspects of Roma of Alfonso Cuaron; regarding not only monochrome shooting but also plain storytelling with awesome camera views, avoiding flagrancy to set political, historical and social background and picturing human relations encounting their psychological context.

Leto is really a cinema pleasure!
