Review of This Boy's Life (1993) by Ensley A — 19 Sep 2007
DiCaprio astounds in this drama/comedy.The Story is based on the life and novel of Tobais Woolf in which The movie depicts a boys coming-of-age in the 1950's while he's caught in a extremely difficult domestic situation which includes Robert DeNiro playing the bully father who makes life a living hell for everyone around him, especially Tobais (DiCaprio)through intimidation and abuse as the mother (Ellen Barkin) refuses to play the referee.
DiCaprio pulls off the role with ease as he drifts between being hopeful, young child and becoming another juvenile delinquent. DeNiro provides a performance that is of great quality. He drifts from being funny and supportive to a fowl, devious man.
DeNiro pulled the part off with a breeze. The Movie and acting is remarkable and A movie that is definitely worth seeing.
