Tonight is our 4 year anniversary and we're trying to decide what movie to see! I lean toward the big short but the revenant is dh's movie dream come true... I worry I'll have to watch it through my fingers the whole time as I'm not great with violence.
Did you see these movies? Was the revenant hard to sit through? I'd love to go just for DH as he's been so amazingly supportive and incredible lately. But... Bears.

I voted the Big Short. I thought it was entertaining, funny, interesting. Took a little while to get into it as the filming style is a bit different. But really enjoyed it!
The Revenant is really good too! But yea there is violence and can be a bit slow at times. Only one scene with a bear.

Both are good! I'd say the Big Short though. I usually don't mind gore/violence but the Revenant was brutal and so intense. I loved it, but if you don't like blood/violence/gore, you'll basically need to wear a blindfold, haha.

We were debating the same two movies too. I am Leo DiCaprio's biggest fan, but couldn't see myself watching The Revenant. We both loved The Big Short - so smartly made! You do have to pay attention and it's not super action-oriented, but a great movie. Smart dialogue, great acting! How can you go wrong with Brad Pitt, Ryan Gosling, Christian Bale, and Steve Carrell??
But... if The Revenant were DH's dream movie and he really wanted to see it, I would probably choose that. Especially if I didn't have a huge preference one way or another.

What if you went to see the Big Short for your date night, and then one of your "gifts" to your husband was that he got to go see the Revenant with buddies or by himself another time and you'd handle the childcare?

The Revenant is pretty brutal, but I found it pretty slow and it didn't grip me.
