Sorry, we can't find any suggestions at the moment.
Leyton and his lifelong friend Modesto are both fishermen and as close as brothers, but very different in temperament. The braggart Modesto is a slave to progress, while the more unpretentious Leyton is content with the simple life. Modesto marries Marta, a beautiful young naïf, who longs for the sexual fulfillment Modesto (who is "like a rabbit - one jump up and one jump down") is incapable of providing. And, just as Modesto captures creatures from the sea in his net, it isn't long before the cruel web of destiny entangles Marta and her lover Leyton in a tragic triangle. Chilean director Gonzalo Justiniano spins a tragic tale of love, lust, friendship, betrayal and murder.
Leave your thoughts about El Leyton.
| Film-Forward.comKent TurnerNot only in its plot, but also in its male rivalry does El Leyton seem like Harold Pinter's Betrayal set by the sea. |
| Film Journal InternationalEric MonderEven with all the flaws in the characters (and the filmmaking), we become intrigued. |
| VarietyDavid RooneyDespite its crude, willfully naive style, this comedy of transgression, judgment and revenge becomes steadily more appealing as it progresses. |
| TV Guide MagazineKen FoxThe scene transitions are sometimes jarring, but the story unfolds like a particularly juicy bit of small-town gossip, one that's told by a particularly vivid storyteller. |
| New York Daily NewsElizabeth WeitzmanGiven the subject matter, the movie is almost fatally lacking in passion. |
| New York PostV.A. MusettoNever rises above the level of a soap opera, although the steamy sex and Lo's abundant nudity might make it worthwhile for some viewers. |
| Christian Science MonitorDavid SterrittToo bad the acting is uneven. And the ineptly done English subtitles will have you laughing in all the wrong places. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenDoes a fine job of building up a sense of dread as its adulterous relationship gathers steam. So it's all the more disappointing when the movie ultimately collapses with a ridiculous comic ending that leaves you feeling almost as betrayed as its cuckolded husband. |
| The Hollywood ReporterFrank ScheckThere's little to distinguish this tale from the countless similar efforts that have preceded it, other than the exoticism of its setting. The performers do manage to bring some life to their characters. |
