Review of This Boy's Life (1993) by Quinn B — 27 Jan 2011

Now I can see why this movie helped DiCaprio get future lead roles. This is one inspirational movie. This is definitely one of my favourite movies I have seen. Although many people probably will disagree with me on my rating of it.

I think it definitely deserves 100%. DiCaprio plays his role incredible and I mean incredible. Even better this is a true story about Tobias Wolff. It shows his struggles in Concrete and his struggles with his mean step father Dwight(De Niro).

I usually love watching De Niro in his movies but this movie he played his role so good as the bad step father, that I could not stand him. Although DiCaprio and De Niro did really and I mean really well.

I think Ellen Barkin was very underrated in her role in this movie and she did very very well. This is a perfect example of why Leonardo DiCaprio is my favourite actor. This movie is a prime example of great acting and is a very underrated movie.

I love this movie, well worth 100%.
