I know the relationship between Mathilda and Leon had some questionable moments but in the previous versions I had seen of the film they were apparently cut down or reduced, when I saw a directors cut I opted for it as I would usually do for a film, but in all honesty I regret it. The extended scenes between them were uncomfortable enough to make me not want to watch it again. I would still recommend the Theatrical version though.

Director’s Cut is really European Cut.
Different Versions,
Different Cultures.
Without strife, your victory has no meaning.
Without strife, you do not advance.
Without strife, there is only stagnation.

I definitely prefer the original American cut, or which ever one was on my special edition DVD from the early 2000s. The Director's Cut/Euro Cut I bought digital, so now I'm stuck with it in my library, kind of wish I wasn't though.
