Beautiful, Sad, Realistic

Rating: 10/10 (30 July 2019)

First off, let me start by saying, the acting and overall performances given by both DiCaprio and Winslet are undoubtedly phenomenal, as to be expected with such veterans as themselves. However the plot and dialogue itself deserve a standing ovation. The story is about Frank and April Wheeler, a suburban couple with two kids who live the stereotypical suburban family life. However neither Frank or April are content with the lives they lead, and they both know this, and it shows displayed through a very toxic relationship shared between the two. Although one day, April goes to Frank chanting of the impossible... LIVING THE LIFE THEY WANT TO, discarding the norms society has set in place for them. This movie is beautifully tragic, and to avoid any spoilers, I'll leave it at that, do yourself a favor and watch this movie. It is hard to make something that is so simple yet so realistic and do it in such a way that is as entertaining as this film.
