Synopsis

Léon, the top hit man in New York, has earned a rep as an effective "cleaner". But when his next-door neighbors are wiped out by a loose-cannon DEA agent, he becomes the unwilling custodian of 12-year-old Mathilda. Before long, Mathilda's thoughts turn to revenge, and she considers following in Léon's footsteps.

    thirteen year old natalie portman accomplished more with this film than i will with my entire life EDIT: so i got creepy vibes throughout this film and was really uncomfortable with the sexualisation of mathilda. anyway, i just found out that there was a sex scene in the original cut and that the relationship between leon and mathilda was loosely based off of a real relationship that luc besson had which makes me feel sick for putting that aside so that i could enjoy the film. whilst i enjoyed the acting and cinematography immensely this is not something that i can overlook so i’m not quite sure what to rate this. i’ve also found out that the dress up scene and the conversation about losing her virginity were removed from the american version, which makes sense as to why most people don’t get the same vibe as people who have seen the international version.

    From the original screenplay: MATHILDA Leon, I don’t know life very much… I just know I love you… And love is stronger than anything else. Leon is more and more nervous, like a child. LEON Maybe… Sure… But… I’m scared, Mathilda. Leon cries. Mathilda caresses his face. MATHILDA Don’t fear, Leon. You mustn’t fear love, when it’s this beautiful. She caresses his chest. MATHILDA (con’t) I want you to be the first to touch me… The first to make love with me. Nobody before you. She stands up and modestly gets off her briefs without taking off her dress. Leon cries, unable to oppose her. Mathilda is too young, but she’s also too beautiful and lovely and sweet and tender……

    i loathe this movie because i absolutely loved it when i was a young teenager. it was one of my favorite action thrillers n a big reference for my not yet cinema addicted lil mind . i fell in love w the dynamics of child n badass duo, i loved it cause i saw mathilda as leon’s “fashion-savvy” sidekick. but then i made the mistake of growing up n finding out the director got a 15yo pregnant before marrying her, which is what inspired the film in the first place. even worse, he planned to turn reality into fiction by making this a goddamn romance with all the sexually charged interactions between the characters, keeping in mind that mathilda is…

    I sure love Gary Oldman in this. Other than that I think it’s mostly just dull. But what always starts to gnaw on me every time I try this again is all the corny affectation: Leon’s thing for milk, his gawk-eyed awe at Gene Kelly (calm down, I love SINGIN’ IN THE RAIN too, but it’s cheap shorthand here) or Danny Aiello’s cardboard goombah, or the domestic montage set to Bjork. Comparisons to something like Melville don’t hold up; none of these characters has any actual inner life. Leon’s childlike presentation seems like a cop out to avoid any hint of desire, to nullify any general queasiness you might have about his plainly taboo relationship with Mathilda. When any authority…

    how do i erase a movie from my memory? the sexualization of mathilda made me very uncomfortable and listening to a 12 year old talk about wanting to “have her first time” with a man quadruple her age is disgusting. not even to mention the sex scene in the script that got cut. did some research on luc besson and found out he impregnated a 16 year old while he was 32…. go figure. man i don’t have time for this shit

    A good reason to love plants is they’re always happy. Leon and Mathilda will remain as an iconic duo in my mind. An adult-minded child and a child-minded adult. The main plot-line and the point of the story is so sensitive that, without being hidden behind action and entertainment, it would have been quite a deal to watch. Being able to give it away only enough to make the viewer feel but not see is some “Lolita” level cinematic manipulation. I enjoyed the harmony of weirdness and sympathy engraved in it. Natalie dominated the movie even at the age of 13.

    Natalie portman was extraordinary throughout tge film. Although i really didn’t like sexualization of portman who was underage during this films release. I really felt uncomfortable when portman talks about sex. But judging it as a film, this is a one time watch. Nothing extraordinary nor boring.

    Reminds me so much of tlou . A guy whos detached from everything and a young crazy girl who gets pulled into his live without knowing how much impact she gon have on him . Leon makes matilda stronger while she makes him more alive . But like always theres a tragic ending . A masterpiece but sadly , there was some scenes ,where matilda was disgustingly sexualised considering that shes a minor ,which adds unnecessary shit to their relationship and made me really uncomfortable ,

    Ótimo filme,me incomoda a mathilda tem esses comentários sexuais com um cara com o triplo da idade dela. Entretanto a relação dos dois é muito foda,o Gary oldman é muito bom como vilão e as cenas de ação são boas e o final é bem interessante.

    wanting the audience to understand mathildas crush as part of her trauma and premature exposure to adult life is one thing, sexualising a child in such a sick and disgusting way is another. there was no need to place her in such a situation to communicate that.

    The action was good. The acting was passable. I liked Leon’s character. This film would probably be a seven but the sexualisation of Mathilda makes me uncomfortable. I get it. She’s supposed to be mature for her age and Leon’s trying to get her to be a kid again but I guess that just falls apart when she tries to kill Gary oldman.

    juliathebom 8 月 22, 2026

    Making Mathilda say “I love you” many times left a bitter taste while watching and also making them so close made me feel weird when it could easily be a father/daughter situation, other than the pedophilia, action and plot were pretty entertaining

    O profissional é inegavelmente um filme questionável. Ao ter o conhecimento de que foi feito para representar a paixão de Luc Besson por crianças, a dinâmica entre Léon e Mathilda muda drasticamente (Apesar de que foi excluído tais partes explícitas). Mas apesar de diversas controvérsias apresentadas, ele consegue cumprir seu papel em ser um filme perturbador. Léon é um homem de coração puro, apesar de sua profissão como um assassino profissional, ele continua tendo um comportamento emocial e social semelhante…

    Bon, qu’est-ce que je viens de regarder ? Une espèce de thriller-action à l’écriture plus que questionnable ? Ouais ? Évidemment je vais commencer par parler de l’éléphant dans la pièce : La pédophilie, c’est mal. La relation entre les deux personnages principaux n’est ni belle, ni touchante, elle fait juste grincer des dents pendant tout film. Entre Léon qui a la répartie d’un enfant de 4 ans, et Mathilda qui est en pleine crise d’ado, bordel, ils sont presque…

    Definitely an interesting watch. Love the stylistic camerawork and the acting (particularly from an especially unnerving Gary Oldman). The relationship between the main characters is a complex and interesting dynamic for sure, 2 people who are detached in different ways finding common ground (that’s all I’ll say about that). Overall, It’s about 7.5/10 for me. Enjoyable, complex and thought provoking watch that isn’t without it’s oddities.

Muy buena peli la vd, buen tirmo, trama interesante, buena elección de banda sonora… Natalie Portman actua super bien pa lo jovencita q era… Escenas bastantes iconicas, todo tiene ese aire de ser como EPICO. Solo puedo quejarme d q hay escenas bastantes cuestionables sobre como se comporta una niña de 13 años, como se nota q lo ha dirigido un hombre…

Jean Reno och Gary oldman gör det sjukt bra Väldigt nära 5/5. Det ända är att Natalie Portmans karaktär uttrycks för sexuell för att vara en 12åring vilket känns lite fel när man kollar på det

Now, about the tone of the movie and the trillions of people talking about “sexualization’, where? What sexualization? The movie tells you a million times that Mathilda is just…

    Many good aspects to this movie but unfortunately I had the displeasure of watching the international version. I wish I could rate it higher but my disgust to the framing of the then 13 Natalie Portman and her character overrides other parts. I was especially appalled when I found out about the directors tastes, but they’re made apparent by how Mathilda is pictured in the movie. Unfortunately that distracted me from the later parts of the movie, but I loved…

Luc Besson’s directing was incredible starting off with its opening scene with the table meet up.

    “You’re not going to lose me. You’ve given me a taste for life. I wanna be happy. Sleep in a bed, have roots. And you’ll never be alone again, Mathilda.” I’m literally crying rn. It’s the story of a girl who finds her independence by immersing herself in the adult world, while a man gives himself one last chance to believe in life. (PS : I hope the plant is ok)

    Im well aware of the criticism directed at this movie and the relationship between Léon and Mathilda, in particular, is hard to watch today. Much of it is highly questionable, and i dont want to gloss over that. Still, I really like this movie. The atmosphere, the music, Jean Reno, and Gary Oldman are just incredible. The movie has this unique melancholic mood that really hooks me.

    Le film est très bien réalisé, Natalie Portman joue extrêmement bien mais le seul bémol c est ce côté sensuel qui ressort entre Léon( jean Reno) et Mathilda ( Natalie Portman) Elle joue une enfant de 12 ans, je trouve que le fait de faire ressortir cette attirance envers Léon est très malsaine 33 ans d’écart Sinon bon film

    I can’t believe I haven’t actually watched this movie before I don’t know why this slipped my radar but boy is it so Robbie core 1990s also Natalie Portman might be up there for greatest child performance of all time with Holly Seinfeld from true grit. What an unbelievable movie it would be higher on my ratings, but as much as I love an unhinged Gary Oldman this performance just kept making me laugh. It’s just turned a little too high for the movie it’s in.

    I can’t believe how long of a way Natalie Portman has gone since her debut in this movie. She and Jean Reno are amazing and have a great and touching father-bond dynamic. Gary Oldman also really steals the show as the villain Norman Stansfield. The action is also pretty cool, the story is gripping and engaging, it’s just a really great and compelling action movie with a great revenge storyline. This is definitely worth your time.

    this could’ve been a perfect movie if they kept it a father-daughter relationship. i decided to put it aside then i found out it’s based on the director relationship with a fifteen year old. luckily i watched this illegally so no benefit for the degenerate that made this gut wrenching movie that i love. fuck whoever made this ruined my dad TWICE and just contaminated the world more. i hope the girl this is based on has a good life nowadays.

I will say some of the fight scenes go a little over the top, but it’s more subtle than John Wick. It also focuses a lot on Leon himself, the thing with the milk and starting to actually live instead of being in fear all the time. Natalie Portman does an…

    Going to preface all of this by saying that this movie is impossible to grade because it is good but it heavily romanticizes a grown adult falling in love with a child, so…hate that. All of that aside, there were incredible moments in this film. Leon’s action scenes are second to none. His childlike innocence makes him lovable (to a fault). Gary Oldman killed his role and I loved the battle of dueling psychos between him and Leon. Gary Oldman…

    Mixed feelings about this movie. The acting is the main highlight of this film, especially Natalie Portman as Mathilda. I really enjoyed the action scenes, with the final shootout being my favorite scene. Unfortunately, the cool hitman scenes and perfect acting gets overshadowed by one disgusting flaw, the blatant sexualization of Mathilda. A young character wanting to seem grown up by smoking cigarettes or cursing is fine at first, but later turns into a very uncomfortable relationship between the 2…

    Bon film ( la version que j’ai vu a été censurée sur tout ce qui peux être de l’ordre d’une relation pedophile entre les 2 personnages) hormis ça c’est un film sur l’amour. L’amour d’une fille qui a tout perdu et qui découvre enfin la tendresse d’un « père ». Elle découvre l’amour paternel qu’elle confond avec des sentiments amoureux. Et l’amour d’un homme qui n’a jamais rien eu. Qui a tué. Et qui découvre une nouvelle raison de vivre.…

    I wish I’d liked this movie more than I did, especially because I had very high hopes. The one thing is is the character designed lacked a bit of depth I think it works very well for Leon and his character to be a bit more bland but Matildas character felt a little forced and boring. Obviously, Natalie Portman was very young so I do think that she did well for her age, I can’t judge too much for that, but their relationship didn’t feel very natural.

    Lo que me tardé en ver esta gran película no tiene sentido. Recuerdo hace muchos años ver una escena en la tele y engancharme,pero no le tenía prácticamente mucho más de idea porque fue hace bastante tiempo. Que decir de esta película que no se haya dicho igual,Gary Oldman imponente, Natalie Portman ya desde muy pequeña demostrando lo talentosa que es. Con secuencias cómicas que funcionan de alivio para lo seria que es la película,como también escenas dramáticas que me mantuvieron al borde del asiento. “Shape of my heart” se convirtió en una de mis canciones favoritas después de ese maravilloso final.

    I don’t wanna lose you, Leon. You’re not going to lose me. You’ve given me a taste for life. I wanna be happy. Sleep in a bed, have roots. And you’ll never be alone again, Mathilda. Please, go now, baby, go. Calm down, I’ll meet you at Tony’s in an hour, I love you, now go, go now.

    I thought their relationship would be like a lost dad and daughter, but apparently it’s not T—-T Why would the writer and director decided that Matilda loves him and doing that much to him! I mean ok i could see girl who doesn’t have enough love and effort from their parents do the same irl, but this is too heartbreaking!

Synopsis
Léon, the top hit man in New York, has earned a rep as an effective "cleaner". But when his next-door neighbors are wiped out by a loose-cannon DEA agent, he becomes the unwilling custodian of 12-year-old Mathilda. Before long, Mathilda's thoughts turn to revenge, and she considers following in Léon's footsteps.
