Judy Berman Flavorwire Ultimately, The Revenant suggests no deeper or more nuanced truths than a medieval morality play. Sep 21, 2017 Full Review Candice Frederick Reel Talk Online 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. Rated: A Sep 1, 2017 Full Review Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com As a feat of filmmaking chutzpah, it's one of 2015's most intriguing offerings. Rated: 3/4 Aug 16, 2016 Full Review JD Duran InSession Film What is important is that he beautifully represents these ideas of mercy and faith in a way that I found profound and satisfying. Aug 2, 2024 Full Review Denise Pieniazek A Sala Llena (Argentina) 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”? Rated: 6/10 Jan 14, 2024 Full Review Keith Garlington Keith & the Movies Everything feels rich with meaning and emotion whether it was the ugliness of humanity or the beauty of nature.

Phil J Just not my kind of movie. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 05/28/25 Full Review Audience Member Amazing performance and storytelling, but this one is a slow burn and only has spare moments of action in it. This movie is more about the emotion and scenario than it is about entertainment, which isn't normally my thing but I still enjoyed it overall. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/25/25 Full Review Audience Member Very long and very boring movie... I can't believe Leo got Oscar for this... Rated 1 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Nicholas D 2025 take: the cinematography was excellent. Story sucks. It's pretty mid. Wouldn't watch again. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/19/25 Full Review Scott V This isn’t a good movie this is a GREAT movie. DiCaprio and Hardy being fantastic in this movie goes without saying. But its supporting cast also does an excellent job all around. The direction and cinematography are top-notch and Academy award worthy. From its storyline of survival in the harsh American Northwest to thrilling action pieces and the most realistic and wince inducing bear attacks ever on screen. This is a movie worthy of multiple viewings. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/17/25 Full Review Viggo W Badass and super well made Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/15/25 Full Review Read all reviews
