Powerful drama

Rating: 10/10 (1 September 2011)

This was such a great film. Unlike many other boring "oscar-bait" films, this actually deserved all the praise it received.
This film was made by Sam Mendes, the same director of the overrated "American Beauty" (But he also made two good films, such as "Road to Perdition" and "Away We Go") I must admit that when I heard about this film for the first time, I wasn't very interested about it, because I thought it was going to be like "American Beauty", but in the Fifties, but this movie turned out to be pretty good, with many powerful and emotional scenes.
The performances were excellent, and the cinematography was equally good too.
Personally, I think that "Revolutionary Road" was an excellent film, and I found this to be superior in every single aspect to American Beauty. This is a good, underrated film that deserves more recognition.
