a marvel of film making and packed with great performances

Rating: 10/10 (21 January 2016)

The Revenant is one of those movies that get made once in many years.The movie provides a breath taking experience both in terms of cinematic representation of nature's beauty and it's ugliness.The movie revolves around the life of fur trapper Hugh Glass and his ordeal to take revenge. The details provided by director Alejandro Iñárritu is simply genius, at some point viewers are compelled to step back and think how is this possible to shoot. Cinematography is perfect. Leonardo DiCaprio has given the best performance of his life, he was able to successfully portray the pain and suffering of Hugh Glass. In simple words if The Revenant doesn't fetch Leo his Oscar then nothing can. Tom Hardy also gave an amazing performance he is in race for an Oscar as well. A word of caution though this movie is not for the faint-hearted. It is brutal and gut-wrenching so buck up and have a good LONG time watching The Revenant.
* watch out for the bear scene*
