The Revenant review: 'Leo's beautiful endurance test' Save. Just over a month ago, I wrote that The Revenant gave Leonardo DiCaprio his best chance at winning an Oscar to date. Now the only. The Revenant review – gut-churningly brutal, beautiful storytelling 5 / 5 stars 5 out of 5 stars.
After being attacked by a bear, Hugh Glass must survive the perils of the wilderness and avenge the murder of his son. Brutal and raw, Leonardo DiCaprio's incredible performance deserves all its accolades, and Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu is at top form, crafting an adventure that I wish more blockbusters would imitate. There's real tension in the conflicts, and the action scenes aren't jump-cutted to incomprehensible death.
