great movie

Rating: 9/10 (25 January 2009)

When I sat down, I was wondering if the film I was here to see was just a remake of the magnificent "American Beauty". It isn't, Revolutionary road is much darker than its predecessor. For the last hour and a half, I couldn't look off the screen due to the intensity of the tragedy lived by this couple. The acting is very impressing particularly Leonardo DiCaprio who seems to be on top form. Kate Winslet wasn't good enough for the part but who is? Sam Mendes might have aimed a little too high with the female character, tortured and yet full of hopes. However, revolutionary road left a good impression on me. More than a remake of "amercian beauty" it's a sequel showing the troubles of the American society.
