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”?

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jan 14, 2024

Everything feels rich with meaning and emotion whether it was the ugliness of humanity or the beauty of nature.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 24, 2022

While the camerawork is worth seeing, it isn’t necessarily enough to overcome the laborious aspects of watching this film.

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jun 30, 2022

The Revenant may seem narratively simple, but its treatment is a wonder.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 23, 2022

DiCaprio is dynamite.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jun 8, 2021

Visually gorgeous with superb acting. Shooting on location engrosses viewers into this environment.

| Original Score: 4/5 | May 22, 2021

The "extremism" and historical exoticism of The Revenant ... are substitutes for confronting the basic facts of modern life.

The Revenant is a series of conventions writ large, like a 90s Mel Gibson thriller projected on a mountainside. Such a flimsy underpinning for such aesthetic grandeur can only collapse quickly.

In favor of nonstop, mesmerizing technical achievements, the film fails to be anything more than a series of striking images.

| Original Score: 3/10 | Dec 4, 2020

Hand-held cameras and fantastic use of the full frame leave you as disorientated as the characters, never sure where the next arrow or attacker will come from, or where the camera might go next.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Oct 7, 2020

DiCaprio is different than we've ever seen him and it may very well be his most convincing, if not his most appealing, performance to date.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 21, 2020

As raw and realistic as survival films come...a brilliant, mesmerizing, harrowing, beautiful, merciless and savage film.

| Jul 18, 2020

A compelling and fascinating exploration of the human conciousness.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Jul 17, 2020

There's no pathos here, no emotional pull towards the main character's journey.

| Original Score: C+ | Jul 13, 2020

The Revenant pummels you visually, emotionally, and on a gut level,. Gorgeous, polished, and intricately constructed, at the same time the film is wholly raw, jagged, and visceral.

| Original Score: A | Jul 3, 2020

The sensational thing is that, in addition to being filmed in a totally desolate winter atmosphere, it absorbs with what would be the best performance in Leonardo DiCaprio's career. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 9/10 | Jun 26, 2020

This was a bummer.

| Apr 30, 2020

It was just so pretentious.

Innaritu is an undeniably talented filmmaker and a good storyteller, but he's developing a nasty habit of becoming insufferably artsy.
