Since the movie is directed by auteurs , you get the attention of critics and since Dicaprio has been following the shtick for quite some time he has developed a major fan following similar to Tarantino but only bigger and add to that the usual fan following for a hot male movie star and you have re...

Very few directors get to make movies at mid budget level on original concepts and only 2 directors can make a movie at big budget level without movie stars attached and they are Christopher Nolan and Steven Spielberg.

One of the things that's outstanding about this movie is that the two leads are unknown and one of them doesn't even look like a movie star but still the movie was an expensive production shot in international locations with considerably huge budget.

At the very least the movie should win the sound awards at the Oscars when it releases.This story lends itself to more of a Dunkirk kind of cerebral movie rather than a biopic.

Every shot in the movie screams 100 million $.In a way the weak story which is void both thematically and emotionally is covered and wrapped in a 100 million $ well shot and directed movie.

Most of the movies that are so-called classics are made by men.So we don't even have a scale to compare them with movies by female filmmakers.But this movie would give classics of the rape revenge sub-genre a run for their money.
