In To Leslie, Andrea Riseborough is at her career-best in this devastating story of loss and redemption. Our review:
The South by Southwest Film Festival held annually in Austin, Texas, a city that has been steadily establishing itself for the last few decades as an impressive and prestigious home for the arts, serves as a strong jumping-off point for a number of diverse storytellers and their handled-with-care films.
RELATED: Does Anything Scare Andrea Riseborough When Taking on New Roles? "It Terrifies Me to Be Part of Crap" There are many ways to describe Riseborough’s performance in this film, with the most effective being “fearless.” That word has a tendency to be thrown around a bit too easily when articulating someone’s strong performance, but in this case, it’s incredibly warranted. Riseborough reveals just as much about Leslie’s life, if not more, when she’s silent.
While it’s obvious that Leslie blew all of her money, we never see how . This story soaks in Leslie’s unfortunate aftermath, leaving the audience to draw their own conclusions as to who the responsible parties are. Obviously, your heart is shattered from start to finish watching the formerly-exuberant Leslie now living with her son and his roommates, and seeing how the rough and short-fused Dutch and Nancy —bikers who knew Leslie before everything went South—treat her at her most vulnerable.
