What the Critics Are Saying:
“Stepping behind the camera for her directorial debut, “Leave Me Like You Found Me,” Romanski shows herself equally capable of depicting nuanced relationships with this low-key character study. The movie nails the endless rollercoaster of uncertain romantic pursuits.”

“This powerful story is about how it’s simply not natural to be with some people, despite all of our desperate efforts to make it so.”
