Leopard (a.k.a. Cold) is a 2013 Irish drama film, directed and written by Eoin Macken, who also co-stars alongside Jack Reynor, Tom Hopper, Rebecca Night, Liam Carney, Melia Kreiling, Brian Fortune, and Helen Pearson. It premiered at Galway Film Fleadh in 2013.[1]

Synopsis

Cold centres around two disconnected English brothers who are ostracised in a small village in the west of Ireland. Drawn back together by the unexpected and mysterious death of their father, they are immediately at odds until they find a girl dumped still alive in the moors. What follows is a bizarre turn of events, both beautiful and surreal, as the two brothers search for their own resolutions. At times both a love story and a tragic tale, the story is inspired by a piece in John Steinbeck's East of Eden.

Cast

Reception

Kevin Haldon of Nerdly lauded the actors (particularly Eoin Macken, Tom Hopper, Jack Reynor, Rebecca Night, and Helen Pearson), saying they "knocked it out of the park". He also praised Macken as a filmmaker for his "outstanding passion project".[2] However, Mo Cata of Horror Cult Films opined that there was a "missed opportunity" because the film "just isn't steadfast enough to follow through".[3]
