Yet those vacillations are something to see. 

Unlike many child actors who’ve made the successful [transition] to grown-up roles, DiCaprio hasn’t evolved in predictable ways—there are no clear [lines] of demarcation. His boys were unusually centered, his adults unusually boyish. 

His wide face still carries some insulating baby-fat, like Elvis Presley’s and Bill Clinton’s (before the latest weight loss), and Mendes uses that insulation against him, sometimes cruelly: What was self-assured and [spring]-heeled in Titanic now looks dodgy.
