This is intelligent, thought provoking entertainment that, taken on its surface is a simple story, but is very complex. DiCaprio is fantastic, his best role to surpass my previous favorite of his in The Aviator. Ben Kingsley really steals the show, playing such a calculating psychiatrist that each scene he's in, he oozes deception and depth. I can't say that I LOVED this film. It's languid pacing and ultimate reveal won't work for some, but this is a movie that I believe I WILL love the second and probably third times. There's so much at play here you'll want to see it again to apply what you learned. It's certainly not a "feel-good" film, but it's definitely THINK-GOOD.
What a film! Absolutely PHENOMENAL entertainment. Most beautiful looking film ever created. Everything is just about perfect, with the exception of the story itself which is just cliched enough to warrant this as one of those CLASSIC movies we'll be watching decades from now. My expectations were about as high as can be for a movie, and unlike how high expectations usually lead to disappointments this still blew me away! Perhaps this is the most "feels like you're there" experience next to playing a video game, perhaps bridging that gap between what is "seen" and what can actually be literally EXPERIENCED in a cinema.
