I Rarely Review Films...

Rating: 10/10 (13 March 2018)

But felt compelled on this 1. What a beautifully made story of the pressures of marriage, children and family. Making what seems to be an easy decision to live the life of a suburban family isn't always so easy. Society seems to idealize family life to the point of ad of naseum. Some people are just more bohemian and flighty by nature. When these people try to mold themselves into what they think society wants them to be - it can result in disaster for all involved. Never have I seen a movie portray this more accuratelty than Revolutionary Road. I've seen it several times and each time it moves me to tears. Every actor, especially Kate & Leo, are simple magnificent. Albeit a bit sad & depressing, don't miss this film because of this. Reveal in the beauty and understatement of this perfect film.
