Agreed, while the story isn't anything original, the directing was so exceptionally well done that it makes it a great film

Saw this last night. The movie is a masterpiece. The acting is fantastic and the story was great. It was a little long, but like Hateful Eight, it needed to be that long. If Leo doesn't win some kind of award for this, I'll be shocked.
8.5/10
Plus, that bear scene is terrific. Amazing film.
Ya gotta feel for him if he doesn't win this time...the amount he invested himself for this film and role is off the charts.
Just finished watching and it's an 8/10 for me. If it was at least 35 minutes shorter, I would have given it a 9/10. Excellent story, excellent acting, and the whole visual and directing was A+
