  • Summary: Like most high schoolers, Leon Bronstein is having an identity crisis. What differentiates Leon, however, is that he believes he is the reincarnation of Soviet thinker Leon Trotksy and predestined to follow the same path as his namesake. Tackling issues from students' rights to semi-formal dances, this "revolutionary" comedy will have you united in laughter. (Tribeca Films)… Expand

    The Trotsky goes down easily and, for what it's worth, is better mannered than most contemporary youth comedies.
