"Mediocre ReUnion For A Dream Pair"

Rating: 6/10 (19 March 2011)

"Revolutionary Road" is a drama film about a couple whose lives spiral out of control owing to compulsions of life putting restraint on their desires to live a free and uncomplicated life, something not achieved.
Cast wise, Excellent. Leo and Kate give their best to their respective roles but at moment, the acting seems a bit stretched and over done. But the core of the movie has to be Kate Winslet, who brings on screen a very mesmerizing performance worthy of awards. Rest chips in well.
"Revolutionary Road" strength lies in its casting. Story wise, nothing much to tell. It weakens itself in the Screenplay, Editing And Direction part. Frankly, the Screenplay could have been better and the Editing with Direction doesn't help raise the movie beyond the level of an Average movie. It's Kate Winslet who elevate the movie, barring the negative aspects.
Overall, "Revolutionary Road" is a One Time Watch movie. Also, it's difficult to like and dislike the movie simultaneously. But I believe the dream pair of Kate And Leo could have reunited for a better movie than this mediocre piece of work.
My Verdict : 6/10
