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
Fresh
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
Fresh
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
