Tickling Leo

About This Movie

So, 'Tickling Leo' is this slow-burn drama that really dives into family dynamics and the weight of history. You know, it has this moody atmosphere, especially in those Catskills scenes, with a palpable sense of isolation. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the tension to build as Zak and Delphina unveil this dark family secret. Eli Wallach’s performance is just as you’d expect—subtle, layered. It layers the narrative with that weighty sense of sacrifice during WWII, which is not often tackled in such a personal way. It's definitely not your typical war story; it’s more about the emotional scars and hidden truths. A bit unconventional, for sure, but that’s what gives it its edge.
