The Revenant

Once you've passed the opening scene and the grizzly scene, feel free to go and refresh your popcorn - you won't miss much. The last hour and a half is incredibly slow paced.

Overall, the film is self-consciously bleak and overdetermined. A better director might possibly have made this a good film.

If DiCaprio gets an Oscar for this it will be because the Academy think they owe him one and possibly because of the hype. This is a film that will be forgotten. Nothing special.
