some of the critics:
The film received positive reviews from critics. On Rotten Tomatoes 32 out of 36 reviewers marked the film as "fresh", thus giving it a mark of 89%.[3] New York Times film critic Janet Maslin praised DiCaprio's performance, writing "the film's real show-stopping turn comes from Mr. DiCaprio, who makes Arnie's many tics so startling and vivid that at first he is difficult to watch.... The performance has a sharp, desperate intensity from beginning to end."[4] Roger Ebert of Chicago Sun-Times described it as "..one of the most enchanting films of the year" and said that DiCaprio deserved to win the Academy Award for which he was nominated.[5] Todd McCarthy of Variety found the film a "bemused view on life" and remarked that "Depp manages to command center screen with a greatly affable, appealing characterization."[6] Washington Post's Desson Howe thought the film was an earnest but highly predictable effort.[7]
