Amazed by Iñarritu's style

Rating: 9/10 (27 December 2015)

I must say it's refreshing to watch Alejandro González Iñarritu's style in an otherwise uncomplicated plot. The Revenant's story is simple, yet scenery, acting and overall pace of the movie is amazing. You feel lost and panicked when the group is under attack, distressed when attacked by the bear (AMAZING scene by the way) and hopeless but you can relate with Glass' motivation for vengeance. This movie immerses you in the story and keeps your attention. It's a great tale of survival and instinct, it achieves a very high level of realism with each take. It features long take scenes which are being mastered by Mexico's golden directors like Iñarritu and Cuarón, which always seem so fluent but must be so incredibly difficult to achieve. Kudos!
