Peeped it on Netflix yesterday, wild flick. Definitely one of the year's best.

The Young and Prodigious T. S. Spivet > The Revenant Jean-Pierre Jeunet’s coming-of-age fable expresses an outsider’s affection for 20th-century Americana, while Alejandro González Iñárritu reduces the history of the American West to savagery — and Obama-era self-deprecation.
