Not only is this one of the most intelligent films I've ever seen, but it provided plenty of Jerry Bruckheimer-type thrills, delivered a poignant, tragic love story, and had me on the edge of my seat for practically the entire running time. The IMAX presentation definitely intensifies the experience. This is probably DiCaprio's best performance to date, and Cotillard is simply enchanting. There was some language in the film that wasn't mentioned in the rating explanation, but otherwise it is truly one of the great films of this generation. If this doesn't receive an Oscar nomination for best picture, particularly with the newly expanded nomination list, I will be shocked.
