Review: I was speechless after seeing this movie, it blew me away. Alejandro González Iñárritu has proved that he is not a one hit wonder with this movie. The cinematography is the best I’ve seen all year with great single shots instead of cutting scenes. The natural lightning used in the movie was just beautiful to look at and made the movie viewing experience great. Leonardo DiCaprio‘s performance in this movie hands down the best performance of the year and his career. If he doesn’t win the Oscar then no one will. The other performances were great. I was really fascinated with the gore aspect of this movie it felt more realistic than any other R-rated movie. The score of the movie is brilliant. The only issue I have with the movie was that it’s a slow paced movie and I’d have loved to see more of Hugh Glass’ backstory.

Recommendation: In the end The Revenant is one of the best movies of this year. I recommend everyone to watch this movie just for Leonardo DiCaprio’s performance .
