Leave your thoughts about The United States of Leland.
| Palo Alto WeeklyJeanne AufmuthThe narrative merely brushes up against the issues, surrounding them with stagy performances and melodramatic results. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris HewittWatching it is the equivalent of listening to two hours of whiny, pretentious emo. |
| Arkansas Democrat-GazettePhilip Martin... the ultimate result is like one of those college rock songs that hint at a depth that just isn't there. |
| St. Paul Pioneer PressChris Hewitt (St. Paul)Watching it is the equivalent of listening to two hours of whiny, pretentious emo. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanA shattering glimpse of the way a community reacts when the erratic killing of an innocent suddenly hits close to home...Deserverdly stands as one of the best films of 2004. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekDeadly serious, almost funereal...a pretentious, dreary film, which is also frustratingly unenlightening. |
| CompuserveHarvey S. KartenMakes an impassioned case for correction within juvenile correctional institutions. |
| Boxoffice MagazineAnnlee EllingsonFast proving to be the most talented actor of his generation, Ryan Gosling gives an achingly sensitive performance as Leland P. Fitzgerald. |
| Reeling ReviewsLaura Clifford...plays like a cross between the truthfulness of edgy Cheadle-starrer Manic crossed with the contrived bathos of the glossier The Safety of Objects. |
| Arizona Daily StarPhil VillarrealThe drama makes us yearn to discover the reason Leland killed the boy, but the point of the movie isn't to grant us a big revealment. |
