OK! Glad to know I'm not talking to myself here...

But yeah, I know what you mean about the love scenes. Slightly disturbing, quite frankly. But I think thats the idea - Leon is never in control of their relationship. Despite the fact that shes 11 or 12 its always Matilda who's calling the shots as far as their relationship goes. The "power-struggle" between the two of them is one of the most interesting things in the film I think, personally.
