Movie reviews: The Revenant, Room, Creed

Leonardo DiCaprio stars as Hugh Glass in Alejandro González Iñárritu’s The Revenant (16s), which is based on the novel by Michael Punke (and the true events it inspired).

Glass, a frontiersman in the American West of the 1820s, is left for dead by his fellow fur trappers — one of whom murders Glass’s son — when he is mauled by a grizzly bear. What follows is an occasionally harrowing testament to human fortitude as the horribly wounded Glass sets out for civilisation, hundreds of miles away.
