You may know Leonardo DiCaprio from the movies, but he also wants聽you to know him as a United Nations Messenger of Peace.
Fisher聽Stevens鈥檚 documentary 鈥淏efore the Flood鈥� features DiCaprio, a longtime聽environmental advocate, in the Canadian tar sands of Alberta and in聽pollution-choked Beijing. He is granted an audience with Pope Francis聽and has a bromantic confab with President Obama. He speaks at the聽climate change conference in Paris. It should all resemble a vanity project聽except for one thing: The film lays out the case for reform with steadfast聽rigor. Grade:聽B (Unrated.)
