Cleo/Leo

About This Movie

Cleo/Leo is a peculiar blend of comedy and fantasy that dives into gender dynamics with a pretty offbeat premise. You’ve got this businessman, Leo, who gets shot and wakes up as Cleo, which leads to some genuinely amusing situations. The pacing varies; some scenes drag a bit, but you’re often rewarded with clever commentary on the absurdities of sexism. The practical effects are minimal, but there's a charm to how they portray the transformation. What stands out is the performance—it's fascinating to watch Cleo navigate a world that’s suddenly so foreign while gradually embracing her true self. It’s all a bit surreal, yet it resonates in a way that feels relevant even today.

Unique gender swap narrative.Amusing social commentary on sexism.Distinctive performances despite uneven pacing.
