	Author	Review
United States	Justin Chang Variety	"A brutal, beautiful yet emotionally stunted epic (...) Iñarritu has managed to appropriate the beauty of Malick's filmmaking but none of its sublimity"	NEU
United Kingdom	Dave Calhoun Time Out	"A warning: the film is long, the dialogue is minimal and the violence is sharp. (...) but often gorgeous and quietly spiritual. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Todd McCarthy The Hollywood Reporter	"Brutal realism and extravagant visual poetry (...) Inarritu, Lubezki and a vast team of visual effects wizards have created a sensationally vivid and visceral portrait of human endurance under very nearly intolerable conditions."	POS
United Kingdom	Peter Bradshaw The Guardian	"The movie is as thrilling and painful as a sheet of ice held to the skin. (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Peter Travers Rolling Stone	"It's one brutal, badass epic. Hang on for the power of cinema unleashed and DiCaprio stretching his acting muscles, testing himself, eager for challenge. That you do not want to miss. (...) Rating: ★★★ ½ (out of four)"	POS
United States	Chris Nashawaty Entertainment Weekly	"The Revenant is full of indelible images and unforgettable scenes, but there's also a frustrating chilliness (...) It's a movie that's so focused on dazzling your eyes that it never quite finds its way into your heart."	NEU
United Kingdom	Nick De Semlyen Empire	"An astonishing sensory experience (...) DiCaprio's raw performance helps elevate what could have been just another man-versus-nature drama. (...) Rating: ★★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United Kingdom	Robbie Collin Telegraph	"In Alejandro González Iñárritu’s astounding new film, DiCaprio puts himself through the wringer. (...) Rating: ★★★★ (out of five)"	POS
United States	Manohla Dargis The New York Times	"By turns soaring and blowing (...) but Mr. Iñarritu blows it when he moves from the material to the mystical"	NEU
United Kingdom	Tim Grierson Screendaily	"Leonardo DiCaprio gives a potently physical performance that, much like 'The Revenant' itself, eschews nuance in the name of pitiless, cathartic drama."	POS
United States	Rodrigo Perez The Playlist	"Impressive, technically spellbinding drama (...) 'The Revenant' (...) begs the viewer to confront the terrifying notion of an world without human decency."	POS
United States	Robert Abele The Wrap	"A masterpiece of all-in filmmaking. (...) Is the relentlessness too much? At two and a half hours, perhaps, but inventiveness abounds."	POS
