As Meaningful As Plots Get

Rating: 10/10 (18 July 2019)

There aren't too many films that have a meaning behind them more powerful than Revolutionary Road.
It was of course a novel by Richard Yates, who deserves all the credit as far as story goes. But this is the movie based on that book.
I call this contemporary fiction. And the meaning of the story is that toxic relationships do not work.
I didn't necessarily love watching the film. It wasn't necessary all that captivating. At times it also wasn't exactly clear what happens. If you're willing to do a bit of searching around the internet for clarification after watching, you cannot leave this experience a changed person. You will now know why toxic relationships are doomed.
I put this film right up there with Mystic River as far as meaning goes.
