Our take

Survival thrillers rarely reach the formal—or primal—heights of this startlingly immersive 19th-century frontier tale. Iñárritu and a grizzled DiCaprio both took Oscar® gold, as did cinematographer Emmanuel Lubezki, whose majestic landscapes and one-shot wonders have to be seen to be believed.
