This was by far my favourite film at this year's London Lesbian & Gay Film Festival and I'm so pleased it's coming to DVD! The film has such a beautiful and unique tone to it and I found it utterly compelling largely thanks to the central performance of the gorgeous Martin Rodriguez in the titular role. He makes Leo's journey of coming-out and exploring his sexuality at turns humorous and tragic but always completely engrossing. A must see!

'Leo's Room' nurtured my mind like a dry, yet fruity champagne would nurture my body. It made me giddy with feelings of well-being. Martin Rodriguez performed as Leo and did so ever so languishly and lovable. I found it not hard to fall in love with character Leo. And I found myself wishing he would - even so languishly and tenderly - start up a relationship with his new found lover Seba. But that's ME talking. Leo turned out not to be ready for any gay commitment at all. Hence his philanderings with girlfriend Caro and trips to the shrink. He had to find his own way out of the closet. At the end, when Leo drives through rural countryside in his brother's car - only to get his head together after he'd managed to deal with his mental turmoil - and lights up a contented smile, I realised Leo was beginning to grasp the fact that adult relationships and/or sexual encounters were not limited to female partners only. Just by a very subtle change in Leo's facial expression, Martin Rodriguez told his audience Leo had just found a new world opening up. And that goes to show what a great actor this Martin really is. Overnight, he became one of my favourites!

First and most important - is that the story takes place in Montevideo. A small CONSERVATIVE south americian capital city.Its about Leo (actor MartinRodriguez) his coming to terms with his true inner desires. Its also about Caro -ex schoolmate of Leos ,whom he meets by chance after some years.They both have blocked emotions to express. Leo -acceptance.Caro, perhaps -failure ,disapointment. Around them are other characters - Leos widowed mother.Roommate Felipe. Sebastian and Caros sister and brother in law .
Though the pace,for some may be slow -there is humor and good drama. Actor Martin well portrays Leos angst, uncertainty and emotions.
In the end both Caro and Leo- open a door and come out of their mental/ emotional room and begin to walk LIFE with certainty , courage and Joy .

Sweet, Funny, Memorable
I bought this on the off chance, as I often do with gay-themed films, hoping to find a gem amongst the dross. Happy to say I'm glad I did. It's a thoughtful, sweet movie. Read more

Leo's room is a room for everybody
It is one of the calm and relaxing movies you can watch on a lazy afternoon. Leo is a student who comes to terms with his sexuality. But it is not only him who we meet in his room. Read more

A stunner
This is a stunner of a movie, and the central performance by Martin Rodriguez is quite simply breathtaking.
And the rest of the cast aren't at all bad either ! Read more
