Revolutionary Road

Rating: 5/10 (4 June 2020)

Winslet and DiCaprio are a couple in a difficult marriage and decide to start again by moving to Paris - but complications follow.
Excellent performances from the 2 leads, which sheds light on the differing emotional approaches of men and women to a crumbling marriage. Winslet seems more assured in her role whilst DiCaprio strays into melodrama occasionally, but this is a minor quibble.
Good support from Bates, the local friend who can't cope with such emotion, Shannon as her disturbed son who tells it as it is and Harbour, who adores Winslet from afar.
This is a very hard watch, made up in the main by long and highly dramatic and caustic arguments between the leads and you therefore need to be in a particular mood to truly 'enjoy' this. Impressive acting, but very hard work - A Marriage Story is better.
