A film that becomes Reality after a while....

Rating: 9/10 (7 January 2010)

Based on the 1961 novel of the same name by Richard Yates, Filmmaker Sam Mendes brings us 'Revolutionary Road', a film that becomes Reality after a while. Astounding!
'Revolutionary Road' is different, very different. At a running time of 113-minutes, this film grows on you & the intense moments look as if they are going on near you. I have never let a film grow on me, but Sam Mendes, this son of a gun... did that! When the end-credits rolled, I then realized that I am indeed watching a movie, I was left awe-struck.
As this is a film, apart from the high-class direction, every other department is flawless. Coming to the acting department, Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet deliver bravura performances. Kate is astounding. She's so real. Leo is fantastic from start to end. Michael Shannon is outstanding. An Icredible Actor! Kathy Bates, Richard Easton & Zoe Kazan are good. David Harbour is excellent. Kathryn Hahn is passable.
A 9/10 rating, because this ended up being a movie, not something going-on near my eyes.
