Léon: The Professional
Movie • 1994 • Action
ReportLéon, the top hit man in New York, has earned a rep as an effective "cleaner".

Matilda's parents are emotionally, verbally, and physically abusive. We only see this in the first few scenes of the movie. Matilda references her parents negatively throughout the movie, but abuse itself is only shown in the beginning

Mathilda is physically abused by her father and it is implied that Leon has sexual thoughts about Mathilda and returns her (childish) attraction to some degree. He does not act on these implied feelings.

Alcohol abuse is not a major focus but some minor characters are shown drinking excessively and 12-year-old Mathilda quickly downs a glass of champagne.

When Mathilda returns to the home where her family was murdered we see many ruined toys scattered around, and she picks up a stuffed rabbit and takes it with her. However, the focus is on her grief for her brother, not the toys.

There is no actual incest but take care if you're sensitive to this theme. Leon and Mathilda are not related but have a father-daughter-like relationship. But she declares that she loves him romantically and makes sexual advances toward him several times. He discourages her interest in him, but it could still be upsetting for some viewers.
