It will leave you Speechless

Rating: 10/10 (15 June 2009)

Director Sam Mendes best known for his work behind the camera in American Beauty (2000) delivers a powerful and poignant film. The story revolves around a young married couple Frank and April Wheeler played to perfection by Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet (she won the Oscar) who are desperately trying to break the conformity of 1950's living. Technically this film is astounding the shots are done beautifully the lighting creates all of the right moods and the score is just haunting. Also the emotion of the script is felt by the way that Leo and Kate play off of each other, I think that Leo has been coming into his own over the past few years with films like Blood Diamond and The Departed but for me this was definitely the best performance of his career. Kate did an outstanding job and like I stated before won the Oscar for last year, anyway see this film you might not enjoy it but you will definitely remember the journey down Revolutionary Road.
