There are 2 questions that frustrated me with this movie but I'm not going to tell you what they are because it might spoil it for you and they may not ever occur or matter to you. That said, it was an interesting movie conceptually.
As you well know, the dead returning in movies is nothing new. But the approach in Revenants is uncommon in that it does not use a lot of special effects or make up. Hopefully this bit of news will not turn you off if you love effects (as I do), but instead, will intrigue you into checking it out. The principal focus of the movie is how to re-integrate the "dearly returned" back into society and the effect on family and friends. Give this some thought. Who knows, a similar situation may occur in real life one day (heh! heh! heh!).
Despite my 2 unanswered questions, the idea and focus of the movie was intriguing enough to keep me interested from beginning to end. Ironically, in it's simplistic delivery (not exploring this captivating idea in more depth; my 2 questions included) it is also clever -I think- in that it does MORE with LESS. For example, in this movie the undead are subtly creepy rather than outright frightening or threatening like most movies of this genre. They don't make you want to run away, just "a little uneasy".
Bottom line folks, is that Les Revenants is worth seeing even if 2 or 3 questions nag at you. I give it 6 stars out of 10 for an "above average". And now it's time for ME to depart -UNTIL I RETURN, of course. Love, Boloxxxi.
