Di Caprio is a great actor and it is time for Hollywood to acknowledge his talent. I haven't seen this film so I don't know if this is Oscar-worthy, but I am routing for him.

Very good film. Boring for kids who want to see action. The cinematography alone is worth the time spent watching it.

I have never liked Leonardo de Crappio, but I have to admit, his performance in this movie is quite powerful.

While watching The Revenant, I was actually afraid at a certain point that I might have nightmares when going to sleep (fortunately, that did not happen ).
