Ultimately, The Revenant suggests no deeper or more nuanced truths than a medieval morality play. Go to Full Review

Iñárritu continues move away from his earlier work, which I still prefer, to bring a more Hollywood-digestible tale like this one that blends themes of spirituality, primal instinct and humanity. Go to Full Review

As a feat of filmmaking chutzpah, it's one of 2015's most intriguing offerings. Go to Full Review

This film plunges its serrated edge of grit, snow, blood, and dirt into your chest for 156 arm-rest-clenching minutes. Go to Full Review

What is important is that he beautifully represents these ideas of mercy and faith in a way that I found profound and satisfying. Go to Full Review

6/10
The Revenant exposes the cruelest of humanity and its revenge, regardless of culture or origin. In terms of the anthropologist Claude Lévi-Strauss, we must ask ourselves in the film, who represents “civilization” and who represents “barbarism”? Go to Full Review

haoming Z @usr_H.Z 14h Brutal world, it’s a medical miracle. Attacked by a bear, fell from cliff and recovered quickly, fight without guns in the end. it’s unrealistic but served for the power of fate and revenge. See more David L @David4628 1d Especially in theaters, this was/is one of the most beautifully immersive movies ever! Grips you, vests you, and never lets go. You're basically living Glass's life right along with him, and feeling every ounce of his pain and frustration. DiCaprio's finest work. See more Jack K. @jackkelley 1d This won Leo an Oscar for a reason. A bit dark but it might touch at your heart. See more D S @DSONDOR 1d I am writing this years later, 2026, having been mesmerized in the movie theater and now having seen it many times, I am shocked by its low rating. And further shocked by the reasoning about why. Comparing his earlier work, calling it "a slog," the people who wrote bad reviews were being nonsensical and obviously reductive. The movie was Oscar worthy, it was one of the most beautifully shot of its year or any, and it harkened back to the days of Dances With Wolves or Jeremiah Johnson but with far more grit and realism than either. The most impressive thing about this film is not only its beauty but that it came from true life stories. That is not lost on Iñárritu or the cast as they do their utmost to embody the time and space. Were I a film Teacher, this would be one of my required watches. See more Funky C @Funkycat 4d Mighty mighty fine movie. Incredible camera and lighting work. Special effects are cutting edge. Great story. Leo is one of the best of his generation. The guy really put everything into this performance. Can’t believe the physical effects he had to endure to pull this off. The scenery and natural lighting is gorgeous. A must watch. See more Lester N @LesterNygaard 4d Leo's son dies at the hands of another, he gets mauled by a bear, he screams and crawls through the woods for about two hours, meets a Native American, crawls some more, then seeks vengeance. There, I saved anyone interested in watching this dreck precious time in their lives. Better off watching a nature documentary. See more Read all reviews
