I think he is a great actor at least since 1993 when he played in "This Boy's Life" (starring a super DeNiro, as well) and "What's Eating Gilbert Grape", both excellent movies, in which young Leo shows all his talent. Critics may have not "forgiven" him for becoming a superstar after "Titanic", but he obviously was a great actor nonetheless. IMO, of course.
I don't want realism. I want magic! Yes, yes, magic. I try to give that to people. I do misrepresent things. I don't tell the truth. I tell what ought to be truth (Blanche/A streetcar named desire)
