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

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.

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

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

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

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”?

Lit a fire during a snowstorm to watch this movie and felt fully immersed. Extremely in touch with Leo and his struggles throughout the movie. It’s more on the plot rather than direct entertainment so you need to be focused and ready to watch.

The grit, the determination and the courage DiCaprio’s character displays in this film is top notch. A true example of what the toll of seeking revenge can take on someone. Ultimately the relentless pursuit of seeking revenge cost Hugh Glass more than just losing his ear. This film was a chilling combination of survival, gore, and the willingness to push forward when everything around you is a complete disaster. Not to mention the cinematography is absolutely stunning throughout the entire film. The camera angles in this movie really captured the beauty and essence that nature has to offer quite well. I really enjoyed this one!

A beautiful scenic master work by all involved. My only complaint is that I took almost ten years to watch it. This movie deserves atleast a 90, atleast. My score would be 97-99. Truly captivating
