Most perfect movie in years

Rating: 10/10 (3 March 2016)

This motion picture excels in all facets of film-making, period. First and foremost: script/plot/story = completely compelling. Second: acting/characters -- especially important in a film that has minimal dialogue! Third: Cinematography, which as in all truly great films is rendered so perfectly as to become an integral element that, without which, the movie would slip significantly in impacted meaning and significance. Fourth: Costumes and make-up, bringing savage wilderness to life for 21st Century denizens as we current movie goers most certainly are. Fifth: best and not overly utilized CG available to movies today. So, to bring all up-to-date, forget Scorsese and DiCaprio, as Leonardo has now fully matured and broken his chains to get and take the best dramatic role of his already-illustrious career. Sad note: Leonardo did not humbly accept the Oscar as recognition for his artistic contribution to film, but instead selfishly and egotistically used the long-overdue Oscar a a platform for his empty-headed political view of today's world. Kinda glad he hasn't reproduced by now, but this movie is intensely extraordinary.
