Film-making as epic as the story

Rating: 10/10 (19 July 2018)

It is evident from the beginning that The Revenant is a work of passion from everyone involved. Technically speaking, the directing, camera work and editing were some of the best I've ever seen and combined with beautiful settings and detailed costumes: visually, this film is absolutely stunning.
The Revenant is an epic adventure told with minimal dialog and content. Every step of this film is purposed to drawing the audience along its path and it does so without the need for added fluff or exposition. It's a pretty heavy drama, so best to have some puddle stompers and a rain coat handy. This isn't your average light viewing.
