powerful performances in an otherwise weirdly sad and depressing movie

Rating: 6/10 (12 January 2009)

i don't know why some people love to watch these kind of sad and depressing movies but i respect their opinions...it doesn't mean that i don't like movies which make me cry...i love many of them..they are mostly touching...but Revolutionary Road is a very hopeless and sad movie...the thing is it works for me only in parts...like the ending where the old man reduces the volume to minimum while his wife kept saying awful things about the Wheelers and a few more...DiCaprio,my favorite,as usual gives a mind blowing performance...Kate winslet was also good but i didn't like her character very much...she was kind of a very nagging wife and after the cancellation of their trip she was kind of losing it and becoming more insane...and that was really annoying...i can watch titanic as many times i can but watching revolutionary road again will be quite a task.
