Every Leonardo DiCaprio Movie Ranked Worst To Best
9. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood (2019)
Though it was Brad Pitt who took home the Oscar, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood belongs to Leonardo DiCaprio, who embraces the image he's crafted throughout his celebrated career and uses it to create his most personal role.
In a solid return to form, Quentin Tarantino's quietly sombre and hilarious ode to a Hollywood past finds DiCaprio playing Rick Dalton, a major star overwhelmed with the feeling his career is nearing its end. Projecting sadness and longing, he manages to capture the hilarity of Tarantino's script without betraying Dalton's vulnerability.
Given time to become comfortable with Tarantino's ambitious script, DiCaprio gives a performance that - like Romeo + Juliet, Blood Diamond, and The Departed before it - hints at an exciting new chapter to a career constantly reinventing itself.
