Another masterpiece following Innaritu's successful Birdman picture

Rating: 10/10 (5 January 2016)

I loved 2014's Birdman and I am a fan of Alejandro G. Innaritu. But if Birdman to me, was a masterpiece that followed the human condition of the sanity between three characters, Innaritu once again delivers that accomplishment that worked for Birdman and that works for three great characters with this survival tale that is The Revenant.
Leonardo DiCaprio kills it in his role of Hugh Glass. He doesn't have a lot of lines in the film, but whenever he is on screen, he delivered. I was wondering, well a survival role, can he pull it off, and it turns out to my surprise, he succeeded. I recognized Leonardo as the character he was playing and not as himself in that role, and that's why I think that this time, he should get his long overdue Academy Award.
The rest of the cast were great too, Tom Hardy, Will Poulter, Domhnall Gleeson all of them delivered. The Revenant was gritty, realistic, very manly and beautifully powerful with pulse pounding tension and a score that is haunting and dazzling.
10/10
