Revolutionary Road review by TT

PAINTING BY NUMBERS

Watching this film I felt there was perhaps,something I had missed earlier. I kept waiting for it to fall into place. It didnt. My conclusion was this is a series of average cameo performances only loosely connected. Maybe some parts were cut and this has affected the continuity for me. Insufficient weight was given to some pivotal/symptomatic points that could/would have qualified subsequent events.

I'm not overly convinced by Leornado di Caprio's talents as an actor so I thought I'd be disappointed; but no! Both actors are brilliant in this tense story. The wife is so disappointed with her lack of personal achievement and hubby just doesn't appreciate just how hurt she is. The way he grins so sheepishly at breakfast when she calmly turns into the all-American housewife. This is a very fine film.

Revolutionary Road review by Jawbreaker

Not a Date Movie

In time Revolutionary Road will be remembered for Kate Winslet’s performance and that alone. She plays a struggling wife, caught in a marriage that is in freefall. The backdrop is perfect Americana, think Mad Men with its clean-cut presentation and attention to detail. Events unfold, soon transpiring into a series of arguments and mistakes from both husband and wife, as the rot sets in. Sam Mendes has delivered a serious drama, perhaps too bland and frankly boring for many viewers. He may have given Kate a perfect role to show off her talents, but the rest of the film requires dedication to see through till the end.
