Leslie, My Name is Evil is gaining critical acclaim from its recent screenings at the Toronto International Film Festival. Moviegoers and reviewers alike have been buzzing about this controversial, unique, stylized film. The Toronto Sun states Leslie is “An audacious movie that does to the Manson Family and the Vietnam War what Inglourious Basterds did to World War II. Leslie, My Name Is Evil may be the wildest Canadian feature to play the Toronto International Film Festival this year.” http://www.thestar.ca/entertainment/TIFF/article/694902
The Reel Addict.com echoes those statements in its review of the film, saying, “Reginald Harkema’s latest certainly isn’t for the faint of heart or the easily offended, but it’s definitely one of the most interesting films I’ve seen so far this year.” http://thereeladdict.com/tiff-09-les...-suck-and-rec2
