9/10

Rating: 9/10 (20 September 2019)

On a technical level, it is virtually perfect. The cinematography, editing, soundtrack, and camera movements all contribute to a full-sensory immersive experience.
DiCaprio, Hardy, Poulter, Gleeson, among others, all give great performances.
The film constantly explores the strength of man (both spiritual and physical), as well as the connection between man and nature, and the depiction of man as just another species in the animal kingdom (especially notable in a climatic sequence towards the end of the film).
The film perfectly balances technical agility and transcendental tone in a way that is both brutal and poetic.
