Disturbing

Rating: 5/10 (2 June 2009)

I liked REVOLUTIONARY ROAD, not love it. Much to dark with not much character development. Why was this couple the way they were? The saving grace of the film is the terrific acting by all....KATE WINSLET could have won the award for this and not THE READER. SPOILER ALERT: Ironic that she should die in both films. Suicide in one and an apparent suicide in the other. Strange. A couple of minor nit-pics. Through the film, the kids were only seen briefly a couple of times. Where were they during all the home scenes? Once they we are told they are a birthday party, but what about all the other scenes. The one big fight scene at the end, where were the kids? It was late at early evening that stretched to the late evening? No kids? Also, didn't this young couple have any parents or siblings or aunts or uncles. No mention is made of family. Didn't they ever visit? They were not even talked about. Very strange indeed and NOT realistic.
