Simply Undeniable

Rating: 8/10 (29 September 2016)

DiCaprio's unbelievable performance and the fact it was shot in 100% natural light makes this a historic and monumentous piece of cinematography.
For me this was by no means a highly entertaining film, in fact it is a long, slow ravelling story and minus the final scenes it struggles to thrill and captivate... However, you simply cannot deny it is a work of pure legend by the director and is shot marvellously in natural light which would have been a tremendous ordeal to achieve. Combine that with an outstanding performance from Tom Hardy and a simply unbeatable performance by Leonardo DiCaprio and you get a true standout film which is worthy of every Oscar it and Leonardo earned.
Overall a methodically paced film that many will disagree on, but a real diamond in both directorial and acting brilliance.
