The Oscar for Leo was well earned, as are the ones for directing and camera. Yet it isn´t among the best pictures I´ve seen. It´s not boring but it´s very slow paced with very little dialogue over long stretches. The whole tension comes from the wait for Glass to take his revenge on Fitzgerald but since you already know that will happen it isn´t much tension in the first place. And the whole side story with the indians is almost neglectable. Half an hour less might not have been a bad thing.
