Anorexic Storyline

Rating: 6/10 (7 March 2016)

The film is well acted, well made, nice scenery. But the story is really thin. It has won a lot of awards, but only because there wasn't really any competition. Having said all that, the bear attack was good, even if it was played by a cartoon bear......I always have had a soft spot for Yogi, and I'm glad he's still getting some work, even if it's just supporting parts. A bit of a come-down from fronting your own series, but at least he's still getting a gig. I found The Revenant to be just a series of events strung together, a bit like the plots in formulaic TV series, one thing happens followed by another, you get to the end and think...so what... Good stories have twists and turns, with sub-plots that weave themselves around each other, go off at tangents and finally meet at the end for the money shot. Well, none of that happens here. This film was a missed opportunity.
