The acting is impeccable and the cinematography and directing is truly memorising. However it all feels wasted on such a long, overdrawn and predictable story line. I found myself waiting for it all to end, which it does eventually, just how you thought it would.

visually stunning and great acting all round. i wonder if it'll be enough for leo to finally get that oscar

One of 100 movies you need to see

I really dont understand why people are hyping this movie so much. Its way too long, has lotsa logic mistakes and on top of it all, this thing cost 135 million dollars to make? Wow. Ridiculous. Great acting by Tom Hardy, average acting by Leo DiCaprio. You could feel he just did something like this to win the Oscar finally, after pretty much every other type of story and film didnt bring him the desired trophy...

The story is not particularly original at all, nor is the eventual outcome with few surprises in the plot. Whether or not awareness of the production of the film is key in appreciating its value is a matter of debate. But, regardless, this is still a stunningly beautiful film to watch. From the opening shots of hunters walking through a river to the final moments, the film revels in the scenery and locations. There is a wonderful fluidity to the movement of the camera as well that is perhaps best shown in the opening action beats - it might feel like showing off to some, but it lends an immediacy and tension to the sequence as the audience shares in the confusion. In addition, all the support performances are great, but DiCaprio commands every scene he is in and ensures that the audience cares about his character’s journey, tried and tested though it is. He may not be the first actor to put himself through genuine difficult real-world elements to produce a stronger performance, but that doesn’t lessen the impact nor should it take away from the film.

A deary long movie that was totally and utterly implausible. Nobody on earth can survive swimming in freezing water in the middle of winter, get out soaking wet and immediately light a fire.

Frontiersman has a comically shit year against an overwhelmingly beautiful backdrop.

Transcendent, punishing, rewarding, beautiful, astonishing, grisly, brilliant, and cathartic. Just give Leo the Oscar already.

The trailer alone looks fucking amazing. I know that DiCaprio is great at picking good gigs, so you know this is going to be great. Not to mention Alejandro González Iñárritu.

Simply outstanding movie and acting!!

The bear really deserves an Oscar!
