Hugh Glass played by Leonardo DiCaprio is about a man who survived from a grizzly bear attack and survived to take revenge on his son's death. One of the recent films The Revenant is with a higher artistic level and strong effort of visual storytelling methods with least dialogues in the cold background with cold hearted characters. Mind blowing cinematography mention's the name of Emmanuel Lubezki's in wide through a zero lighting technique in the digital era.
At first, it's a peak for Alejandro González Iñárritu's directorial venture after giving a movie like Birdman. Here, this as a masterpiece of Leonardo DiCaprio's performance, which let him to bag him an Oscar. This film has Leo, Tom Hardy, Domhnall Gleeson & Will Poulter as main characters to portray the novel with the same name.

Alejandro González Iñárritu and Mark Smith had done an applauded script to portray the life of Hugh Glass to expel the pain and sorrow of the lost of his only son who got saved once before by himself from a life threatening event. While talking about Leonardo's dedication he deserves more than awards as recognition for this movie.
As a director Alejandro's did justifiable work, in a scene like buried spot escape need some more explanation and information. Tom Hardy is always never given up on his roles; again this is a milestone for his performance as Fitsgerald. In climax as a convict he did a convincing performance and personally as a fan of Hardy, he and the entire team deserves a strong consideration and recognition for presenting such a movie with a high artistic level.
