The performances weren't as satisfying as they should have been. Expectations are sky-high for a DiCaprio-De Niro-Scorsese collaboration. The last couple of times I've seen De Niro I couldn't get into him; he's almost too iconic to act anymore. DiCaprio also needs a challenge, and this role was pretty straightforward. Straightforward is what I'd call Gladstone's role too, which was disappointing after I heard her praise. She mostly just had to be miserable, conveying basic familial instincts.
2.5/4
