What Happened to the Revolution?

Rating: 6/10 (31 May 2018)

Revolutionary Road really is a road, and it's where the two main characters, a married Leonardo DeCaprio and Kate Winslet, have purchased their first home from realtor Kathy Bates to raise their two children. It's in CT and Leonardo's character commutes into the city every day to a job he doesn't like and comes homes each night to Kate Winslet who is an unfulfilled actress. They're unhappy with their lives and devise a plan to suddenly move to Paris, thinking that is what they need to feel happy. Things don't go quite as planned though. I liked all of the performances and this film looked good too. Unfortunately the characters were somewhat flat and one dimensional. There is a lot of emotion put forth by the characters but as a viewer it's not really felt, only on display. I think there was a lot og good elements here but for me they don;t really add up to a satisfying experience.
