Revenant is all that it is cracked up to be; stunning visuals, fantastic score, and superb acting by many of the cast. Leo makes a standout performance, and is greatly supported by Tom Hardy and Domhnall. Only thing that prevents me giving this 10 stars is the length and the repetition. The film seems longer than it needs to be and I found myself getting bored as Leo's character, Hugh, is constantly finding himself on the brink of death all the while making his way to what we can assume is civilisation. There are only 2 outspoken references for Leo's reason for carrying on, and these are blink and miss it moments. As well as a couple of plot points that leave you wondering how that outcome was reached. Overall you will enjoy this at the cinema, not sure it's a take home on Blu-ray and re-watch kind of film, but it is certainly a film of 2016 you don't want to miss even if purely to marvel at the beauty of the setting.
