Critics' reviews

"A brutal, beautiful yet emotionally stunted epic (...) Iñarritu has managed to appropriate the beauty of Malick's filmmaking but none of its sublimity"

Justin Chang: Variety
"Brutal realism and extravagant visual poetry (...) Inarritu, Lubezki and a vast team of visual effects wizards have created a sensationally vivid and visceral portrait of human endurance under very nearly intolerable conditions."

Todd McCarthy: The Hollywood Reporter
"It's one brutal, badass epic. Hang on for the power of cinema unleashed and DiCaprio stretching his acting muscles, testing himself, eager for challenge. That you do not want to miss. (...) Rating: ★★★ ½ (out of four)"

Peter Travers: Rolling Stone
"The Revenant is full of indelible images and unforgettable scenes, but there's also a frustrating chilliness (...) It's a movie that's so focused on dazzling your eyes that it never quite finds its way into your heart."

Chris Nashawaty: Entertainment Weekly
"By turns soaring and blowing (...) but Mr. Iñarritu blows it when he moves from the material to the mystical"

Manohla Dargis: The New York Times
"Impressive, technically spellbinding drama (...) 'The Revenant' (...) begs the viewer to confront the terrifying notion of an world without human decency."

Rodrigo Perez: The Playlist
"A masterpiece of all-in filmmaking. (...) Is the relentlessness too much? At two and a half hours, perhaps, but inventiveness abounds."
