A fantastic feature film with some of the best dramatics

Rating: Null/10 (30 August 2018)

Sam Mendes has crafted a touching story of a couple with marital issues. Based on a book which is set in the 50s the movie is raw and excels because of some fantastic acting from lead pair Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet. The film is excellently shot with the suburban house behind the white picket fence holding secrets expertly staged- which is no surprise since Mendes also helmed American Beauty some years ago. However, it can be tough for certain audiences to sit through, especially since they will expect the pairing of Di- Caprio and Winslet to sizzle like it did in Titanic. It does, but not in the way you will expect. This is a great profile of a marriage that you should watch.
