I was not looking forward to sitting for 2 1/2 hours but it was the husband's pick. Since I do enjoy L. DiCaprio, I figured it couldn't be all that bad. The 2 1/2 hours flew by and I was glued to the screen. The move was beautifully done, though provoking, and the acting was Oscar worthy by all. Now I understand why my sons said it was a "Must see" movie. Probabaly one of the best movies I have seen in a few years and I see a lot!
