somebodysthrowaway's rating
First of all, this movie is very beautifully shot (especially towards the end), very well plotted out and acted, and very entertaining. Cate Blanchette, for example, shines in her role as Katherine Hepburn, as does Leonardo DiCaprio as Howard Hughes. You can really see how Cate's character brought some sanity into Howard's spiraling mental state.
But far more important than that, to me, is this movie's depiction of ocd. It is probably the most accurate portrayal i have ever seen. As someone who has suffered with ocd for most of my life, seeing so many of the tics and eccentricities I've dealt with be shown onscreen in such a real way is incredibly refreshing. I'm sure the fact that Leonardo DiCaprio has ocd himself helped him bring realism to the role. I would honestly recommend this movie for the look on his face alone when his symptoms are triggered. I swear I've never felt so understood.
Many scenes showing his symptoms may come across as a bit humorous and outlandish to people who don't have this condition, but I can assure you that they are very real.
