Leave your thoughts about Leslie, My Name Is Evil.
| JWRS. James WeggIt's been along time since relentless, biting satire found its way to the big screen and skewered its subjects with such impressive skill. |
| ColliderMonika BartyzelLeslie, My Name is Evil is Reginald Harkema's next step in socially conscious filmmaking. |
| Dork ShelfShelagh Rowan-LeggComplemented by solid performances by the rest of the cast, Harkema creates a campy yet believable society. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...a sporadically intriguing yet hopelessly misguided endeavor. |
| Globe and MailRick GroenEssentially a cinematic essay that occasionally seems smart and sometimes just smart-alecky. What it never seems is emotionally engaging. |
| Toronto StarPeter HowellHarkema's real problem is that he doesn't know which story he wants to tell, apart from taking potshots at governments, religions and ideologies he opposes. |
| Jam! MoviesLiz BraunThe performances are suitably bizarre. What it all means is something you can go away and argue about afterward. |
| User ReviewDave PExcellent and off beat, this film does jump about a little so maybe a touch challenging, it looks mainly at the trial of the Manson gang, and his influence especially on Leslie, one of the followers. unsettling, but then it should be. well filmed, and well acted. |
| User ReviewWendy SLike the fact that Perry's real feelings aren't completely shown during the jury hearing ... including the fact that he's raring to get married (&get laid!) The variables of the "time" give reason to the infamous events ; director/writer did this well! Movies of this calibre should be made more apparant, advertised more! See this to get a sense of the mind tricks (and mindfulness) of the manson clan. |
