Leo (2002)

The Shue definitely fits in Leo (2002), a somber psychological drama about two tormented souls who work through their grief in profoundly different ways. Blonde knockout Elisabeth Shue stars as Mary Bloom, an adulterous wife who blames her illegitimate child (Davis Sweat) for her husband’s accidental death. Rather than follow his mother’s aggressive path, the boy strikes up a friendship with an incarcerated felon in order to ease his pain. Sam Shepard, Joseph Fiennes, and Dennis Hopper round out a talented cast, but it’s Shue who steals the show in a love scene that’s modest but electrifying.
