Critics Consensus

As starkly beautiful as it is harshly uncompromising, The Revenant uses Leonardo DiCaprio's committed performance as fuel for an absorbing drama that offers punishing challenges -- and rich rewards.

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”?

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

Stupidly "immerses" the audience in completely unintelligible content. If the participants in the Indian/French conversations had been as clueless as regards *meaning*...they'd have walked out, too. Just dumb. Hyper violent...Tarantino-esque. Not a showstopper by itself, and yet not entirely credible, either (man and horse jump off cliff; man falls *through neck-breaking tree branches*...and walks away). Not a favorite for anyone, I'd venture to guess. A good guy movie...with deep flaws...and yet another example of how Hollywood's deep penchant for lying just can't sit down and shut up by honoring history accurately. Glass' son...the centerpiece for the revenge story? Totally made up.

A masterpiece and pure cinema. It keeps you on the edge of the scene and the action scenes are well done. Leo takes his acting skills to another level and over delivers in this movie. The stunts, camera movement, everything is amazing in this scene and you can really feel the cold in your living room that's how good it is.
