* MisBlamed: Several critics and audience members alike have criticized Leon and Mathilda’s relationship, calling it borderline pedophilic. They don’t seem to realize that it’s a ''very'' one-sided crush, with Leon obviously perturbed by Mathilda’s attraction to him and preferring a father-daughter relationship with her instead. Additionally, her crush on him is realistic in this case since [[PrecociousCrush she is a young girl who doesn’t know any better]], and [[BecauseYouWereNiceToMe he was one of the only people in her life to treat her with kindness and compassion]].

* {{Squick}}: The underage Mathilda being attracted to the forty-something Léon. Some feel that this aspect of the plot gives the film an unpleasantly [[LoliconAndShotacon pedophiliac]] edge, particularly in the director's cut. [[HarsherInHindsight Especially so]] in light of allegations of sexual assault against Creator/LucBesson. Even worse is that they were originally supposed to become ''lovers'', which was thankfully did not come to be.
