Revolutionary Road

Genre: Drama
April (Kate Winslet) and Frank (Leonardo Di caprio) are a young, thriving couple living with their two children in a Connecticut suburb in the mid-1950s. Frank is mired in a well-paying but boring office job, and April is a housewife still mourning the demise of her hoped-for acting career. As their relationship deteriorates into an endless cycle of squabbling, jealousy and recriminations, their trip and their dreams of self-fulfillment are thrown into jeopardy.

Revolutionary road is a great movie about a life of a normal middle class husband and wife's life and how sometimes people don't know what they want. The ending will leave you disturbed for really long time. Kate Winslet and Leonardo have given their best performances ever. It is good to see them together after Titanic, though both have lost their old charming looks. I am still surprised why Kate didn't get an oscar nomiation for 'Best acress' such a wonderful acting in this movie. After 5 disappointments for Oscar, I seriously wish that she gets a well deserved Oscar atleast this time for her movie 'Reader'.



My rating: 9/10. (6 or less- Avoid, 6 and above- OK types, 8 and above- worth watching once, 9 and above- very good and must watch)
