With good dialogues, quotes and an amazing chemestry this movie is definitely a piece of work. Being first just an avarage movie it's a story that you can relate, a story that is just so simple and once you start watching you thinkg 'I know someone like them/I am her'. It's easy to relate to, it's easy to enjoy and the performances were just mind blowing.

A revolutionary clash of class and emotion.

''Hopeless emptiness. Now you've said it. Plenty of people are onto the emptiness, but it takes real guts to see the hopelessness.'' A young couple living in a Connecticut suburb during the mid-1950s struggle to come to terms with their personal problems while trying to raise their two children. Based on a novel by Richard Yates. Leonardo DiCaprio: Frank Wheeler It's been a long ten years since Sam Mendes' debut picture American Beauty. That's a really long time for audiences and fans of Mendes. People forget a film's essence and directors reintegrate old idealologies into a new piece of film, to the shocking dispair of us film critics. Benjamin Button did that to the humble Forest Gump, and Mendes has done it with his latest project. I'm not bold enough to make the claim that he...Read more

A Revolutionary Reunion...

"Hopeless emptiness. Now you've said it. Plenty of people are onto the emptiness, but it takes real guts to see the hopelessness." Revolutionary Road, a cinematic adaptation of the novel by Richard Yates, is a compelling character study as well as a brutal, emotionally-straining examination of a marriage in turmoil that denounces the American Dream as a cruel charade. Director Sam Mendes, who had previously helmed the 1999 film American Beauty, returns to his roots in crafting this powerful suburban drama. Revolutionary Road is a truly extraordinary motion picture that harnesses spellbinding emotional discharge and enthralling repugnance, employing two talented and captivating lead actors (Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, reuniting in a movie for the first time since 1997's Titanic) ...Read more

Sam Mendes attempts to do 'American Beauty' for the 50s with semi-successful results. The acting is top notch and direction is reasonable but it's hard to connect to a couple in the 50s, it was a different world. Still, the emptiness of their lives, felt especially by Winslet's character was palpable. Occasional doses of humour and irony light up the otherwise slightly dull progression of the screenplay.
