Unbelievably fabulous performances!

Rating: 9/10 (23 November 2016)

Revolutionary Road (2008) is a movie that contains wonderful performances by Winslet and DiCaprio. I can't remember the last time I saw such wonderful acting! The intense fighting between the wheelers is so raw and real, absolutely nothing is held back in those scenes, which is the way it should be. Winslet and DiCaprio are the wheelers, who are a married couple with two children. Their marriage is on the brink of absolute disaster. Director Sam Mendes, who incidentally is Winslet's former spouse, directs beautifully here, he really captures the essence of this unhappy married couple, and the many problems they experience throughout the film. Many mature issues are tackled here, including infidelity and abortion. Kathy Bates is in the movie as well, she plays her role well, I mean what else could you expect from the great Kathy Bates. The script and dialogue is so wonderfully written, especially the dialogue between the two leads. Revolutionary Road is a very serious mature movie that is not meant for simple escapist entertainment. So if you are just looking to pass a couple hours by and be mindlessly entertained, then this definitely is not the movie for that. It is a great film that I 100% recommend, that is if you want a very serious, perfectly acted, well written movie. 9/10.
