Top Movie of All Time

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2020)

And the rarest ratings of them all for me. A stellar 10. And writing this review is being done directly after writing the review for "American Beauty"......two of Sam Mendes' greatest masterpieces of filmmaking thus far.
This movie made me stay up an extra 2 hours in bed after watching it due to mullying over its beautiful filmmaking and storyline.
I know Sam Mendes enjoys directing movies about the American stereotype of romantics and family. So, for him to direct "Revolutionary Road" was a match made in heaven (no irony intended).
This movie had such high and lows and the masterful duet between Leonardo and Kate made it all the better. It felt so real!!!! And it was a sad ending that didn't go the viewers way for once.
And since people usually remember things for how they end, this one left a sting if beauty in my mouth. In line with that, Kate Winslet did an amazing job in this movie after the major fight scene. She came back the next day and embodied what I just said for my reality of watching this film - she wanted to leave her husband with a fond memory between them - as sad as it was too.
