2 1/2 STARS
If you've seen any commercial or trailer for this film, you know this isn't a feel good flick. However, that doesn't mean it is not a good film.
Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet star in the intense drama, Revolutionary Road (Rated R), their second movie together since the 1997 epic blockbuster, Titanic (DMR rating: 5 STARS).
An adaptation of the 1961 Richard Yates novel, the two play a young married couple in the 1950s. Unhappy and wanting to live life to the fullest, they desire to be free from a way of American life that has limitations.
However, when they find a way to be free and live their dreams, society and circumstance pulls them back and the flaws within the seemingly perfect pair come to the surface.
Directed by Sam Mendes (Winslet's real-life husband) this intense film depicts another interpretation of white-suburbia in the 1950s and that the mentality that society has is not so far from the way society is today.
This film is not for everybody. However, it has powerful acting and remains true to the realities people dealt with at the time. Strong language, sexual scenes, and brief nudity are a part of the film as well.
EW.com & Rotten Tomatoes movie reviews on Revolutionary Road are quite different and can help you determine whether to watch this film or not.
