Flicks, Dominic Corry

Oscar-winner Alejandro G. Iñárritu applies his artful specificity to one of the wildest settings imaginable, resulting in a gripping and immersive frontier adventure. As an exercise in pure cinematic style, The Revenant is almost unprecedented - the film is simply staggering to behold for practically its entire running time. Iñárritu dives deep into the savagery of the setting and characters, exploring the insanity from all angles while maintaining a remarkably steady directorial hand.

Variety

In aiming to steer his dark, fatalistic vision toward something genuinely contemplative and cathartic, Inarritu has managed to appropriate the beauty of Malick’s filmmaking but none of its sublimity...

Total Film

Astounding. With a director, DoP and cast at the top of their game, The Revenant is a filmmaking triumph.

Time Out

What makes this more than just a punishing, fearful, expertly crafted thriller focused on one man’s endurance is heavily down to Emmanuel Lubezki’s attractive, thoughtful photography.

The Telegraph

There’s no question it’s an extraordinary, blood-summoning, sinew-stiffening ride.

The Guardian

As thrilling and painful as a sheet of ice held to the skin.

Stuff

One of the bravest, toughest, most awe-inspiring exercises in "making a movie" ever attempted.

Hollywood Reporter

Pushing both brutal realism and extravagant visual poetry to the edges of what one customarily finds in mainstream American filmmaking...

Empire Magazine

DiCaprio's raw performance helps elevate what could have been just another man-versus-nature drama.
