So grateful to have fallen upon (and completely into) this movie. I feel like it was gifted to me after it just showed up on my Prime opening screen as something I may like. LEAVE had my attention from the get-go and drew my mind and soul further in with every scene.
I love movies like Butterfly Effect, Memento, Perfect Gift, and this film would fall into the same genre but with more of a lasting emotional impact.
I became a nurse 20 yrs ago. I spent the vast majority in critical care/ICU and the last few yrs working with hospice patients and those with advanced and end-stage Alzheimer's. I have seen death in all it's many forms.
The way LEAVE portrays the personal grieving/mourning process for this barely conscious man is something to behold. He is not only mourning his existence but also processing the loss of someone special from 20 yrs ago, as well as the impact his own dying process has on his wife.
The last scene...I have seen it from the survivor's perspective so many times in real life and seeing it from the patient's in an 81minute movie I didn't even know about has truly effected me.
Thank you to everyone involved in making LEAVE happen.
