Inarritu has constructed an epic fable of uncommon grace and resonance--a film that, like its hero, achieves a kind of transcendence.

Christopher Orr, The Atlantic

The journey is long and painstaking, the better to give you a sense of just what is being opposed to what.

Matthew Lickona, San Diego Reader

DiCaprio is called on to depict the man's desperation, grief and searing anger almost entirely through his eyes and he does it with remarkable depth, turning Glass's endurance into a steadfastness both physical and emotional.

Kate Taylor, Globe and Mail

DiCaprio may get put through bloody hell, but on a big screen "The Revenant" is heaven, with Lubezki's camera painting the American West as a rapturous primeval proving ground.

Ty Burr, Boston Globe

There is so much to like and admire and study closely, including DiCaprio's mature, committed, ruthless and yet empathetic performance.

Bruce Kirkland, Toronto Sun
