Rookie-Critic's Top 25 Films of 2022: #17: To Leslie (dir. Michael Morris)
Tumblr media
Jumping from one of the list's earliest additions to one of it's last, To Leslie snuck up on me. Frankly, I think it snuck up on the entire country. How did the lead actress in a film that only earned $31.5K at the box office get nominated for one of the most prestigious film awards of the year? Personally, I think the answer is more innocent than the controversy surrounding the nomination leads people to believe, and on top of that, Andrea Riseborough, who plays the titular Leslie in the film, is absolutely deserving of that nomination. Surprisingly enough, if Michelle Yeoh hadn't been nominated for Everything, Everywhere, All at Once this year, Riseborough most likely would have been my personal pick out of the other four actresses nominated. The heartwarming, but difficult journey of Leslie as she attempts to course-correct her life after over a decade of alcoholism might be a tale as old as time, but director Michael Morris and screenwriter Ryan Binaco's laser-focus and unapologetic honesty in the way they portray Leslie's recovery is so unique that it doesn't really matter that this is ultimately a story you've seen before. The time spent showing the audience the realities and consequences of Leslie's alcohol abuse on the people she was close to isn't small, and I appreciate a film that asks it's viewers to forgive their flawed protagonist for the person she was without sweeping her past abuses under the rug, without sugarcoating the bad or glorifying the good they're doing now. It also paints a very realistic portrayal of the idea that the struggle of staying sober, of staying clean, might never go away. It's a film that remembers without condemning, and loves in spite of its protagonist's flaws. I'm honestly glad that the awards campaign for Riseborough was so successful, because it put this film on my radar when I otherwise would have overlooked it completely. Currently available to rent/purchase on digital (iTunes, Amazon, Vudu, etc.). Read my full review of To Leslie here.

faceclaim: James Landry Hébert
𝖺𝗉𝗉𝖾𝖺𝗋𝖺𝗇𝖼𝖾; Keith is incredibly tall (1'95cm) and lanky and (mainly) due to addiction he is also incredibly skinny which gives him a ghoulish look. He has piercing blue eyes and dyes his usual dirty blonde locks a bright red (or let's it weather over time for a more pinkish look). He sports a mohawk which he usually styles into a mohawk or liberty spikes depending on his mood.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗧𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗦𝗧𝗬𝗟𝗘
clothing style; Most of Keith's clothes are either thrifted, self made or found in a dumpster on a good day. He wears various graphic tees with different punk slogans or other bands, he wears a lot of different accessories. And of course he wears an old pair of black doc martens with purple and yellow laces. Keith also has a trenchcoat which he decorated with safety pins and red thread for detailing.
𝗣𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗢𝗡𝗔𝗟𝗜𝗧𝗬
personality; Keith can be a hot-head and a loud-mouth, he only really has a soft spot for his bandmates since they're the closest thing to family for him. When being questioned about his personal life he will most likely become very hostile about it and start insulting you but that all depends on the other person's 'vibe'. Overall he is a kind and free-spirited guy but definitely can come over as an asshole or rude thanks to his general behavior and jokes. He is also incredibly sensitive to peer pressure.

‘‘Somehow I felt immune to the dangers of this place. As if the land and I had struck a deal. I could pass unharmed as long as I loved it. And I did. I loved everything about it. But crossing the Brazos taught me there was no deal : no matter how much we love it, the land will never love us back. ‘‘

To Leslie (2022, dir. Michael Morris) - review by Rookie-Critic
Tumblr media
I'll be honest, To Leslie wasn't even on my radar until the Oscar nominations came out. I, somehow, had completely missed this movie that came out back in October, and now the lead actress, Andrea Riseborough, was having her name thrown in the same ring as Cate Blanchett and Michelle Yeoh for one the year's most prestigious film awards. So, when I saw the Angelika Theater close by had brought it back to theaters as a part of their awards film screenings, I jumped at the chance to go see it in that setting. It was such a sudden, last minute decision that I don't think I had even watched a trailer. I went into this completely blind, not knowing what to expect, and what I got was an absolutely stunning, beautiful, and emotionally affecting character study about the vicious consequences and results of living with addiction (in this case, specifically alcoholism). Now, I understand there's some controversy around Riseborough's nomination and the Academy has even released a statement saying that they're looking into their nomination process for future years, but let's set that aside for right now and just focus on the film itself and how it stands on its own merits.
Firstly, I don't care how unknown the film was or how exactly Riseborough got nominated, but she absolutely deserves it. This is an absolute powerhouse of a performance, with Riseborough drawing ire, sorrow, pity, and joy out of the audience all within the span of a couple of hours. If Michelle Yeoh's name wasn't also in the mix for Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, then I'd say Riseborough would absolutely be my personal pick. She makes you feel for Leslie well before the film ever gives you any reason to, and I think one of the most wonderful things about To Leslie is that it and Riseborough accomplish this sympathetic reaction without having you forget the misdeeds she's enacted as a result of her disorder. Marc Maron also deserves insane praise for his performance in this, playing a character that is so unlike himself that, even though he doesn't look any different, you can hardly believe is him at first.
I've never really seen a addiction recovery story quite like this one that revels in its smallness, that is able to move the audience without allowing them to forget all of the bad and the heartache Leslie has caused, and that's willing to paint the picture of how difficult recovery is when you've been abandoned and tossed to the side, provided with no avenue forward except for one of self destruction, where all that you have left is this addiction. That's not to imply that the people who have been hurt as a result of her addiction should have just toughed it out with her or anything, they made the best choice for them and got out of a toxic situation, which is understandable and valid, and in that way Leslie has no one to blame but herself. However, and the film conveys this well, all you really need is one person to not give up, to provide that avenue forward, and to plant the seeds of recovery. There's still a fair bit that falls on the addicted, it's not entirely up to another person to carry you through your recovery, but no one can do it on their own, and To Leslie is a pillar of that kindness.
I'm attempting to dig through my memory of the film to find something to critique, but I'm coming up with nothing. There are a couple of sequences that maybe overstay their welcome a bit, but really those bits, which show Leslie when she's close to her lowest point, stick with you and make her road to redemption that much more meaningful by the end of the film, and that final scene got to me so much that I think the only other film from 2022 that got more tears out of me than this was Aftersun. To Leslie is a marvel, it completely swept me off my feet in surprise in a way I don't think I've felt since 2021's C'mon C'mon, and regardless of how Riseborough got nominated for an Oscar or how I even missed this release in the first place, I'm unendingly grateful that it crossed my path, because it's truly placed itself toward the top of rankings for last year.
Score: 10/10
Currently back in theaters in a limited capacity. Check your areas theaters to see if its playing near you.
