Product Description:
A YOUNG COUPLE LIVING IN A CONNECTICUT SUBURB DURING THE MID-1950S STRUGGLE TO COME TO TERMS WITH THEIR PERSONAL PROBLEMS WHILE TRYING TO RAISE THEIR TWO CHILDREN.
Amazon.com:
In Revolutionary Road, Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio reunite for the first time since their careers exploded with Titanic--and it's almost as if they're playing the same characters, only married and faced with the hollowness of a 1950s suburban existence. Frank and April Wheeler (DiCaprio and Winslet) always thought of themselves as special, but they settled in a conventional Connecticut suburb when they had children. Hungry for a less constricted life, April persuades Frank to move to Paris--but slowly their plans unravel and their marriage unravels along with it. While Revolutionary Road may be a bit too glib about suburban emptiness--the lives Frank and April lead don't seem so stifled--the portrait of a mismatched marriage is vivid and devastating. The ways that Frank and April misinterpret each other, and the subtle yet unbearable dissatisfaction they feel, is rendered with remarkable and unsettling acuteness. Winslet and DiCaprio's natural chemistry tells us what drew these two together, making the way they tear each other apart all the more shocking. The excellent supporting cast includes Kathy Bates (Misery), Dylan Baker (Happiness), and especially Michael Shannon (Bug) as a mentally troubled mathematician who cuts to the quick of the Wheelers' troubles. Mention must be made of the beautiful production design; the costumes and sets are simply gorgeous. --Bret Fetzer

Over the past period I have seemingly endlessly retailed the experiences of my young adulthood during the 1960s, the time of the "generation of `68". That makes me, obviously, a child of the 1950s, the time period of this very interesting movie, "Revolutionary Road" based on a book by the darkly sardonic writer, Richard Yates. I have also seemingly endlessly pointed out my experiences and the effects they had as a result of growing up among the marginally working poor in that `golden age'. I am fond ... Read More

Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio play Frank and April, a young couple with two children living a comfortable lifestyle. Frank has a good job in the city and April, who failed at being an actress, is a housewife. April is very unhappy; she looks at her husband and herself as "special people" who were not meant to live ordinary lives so convinces her husband to move to Paris, where she intends to work and where she hopes he will find the person he's meant to become. The two seem to communicate at different ... Read More

The Bottom Line:
It didn't get the Best Picture nomination it deserved and Kate Winslet got a trophy for her inferior performance in The Reader, but Sam Mendes's brilliant adaptation of Revolutionary Road deserves to be recognized for the way it breathes new life into the cliched subject of American suburbia: with its perfect cast, beautifully stark cinematography, vitriolic screenplay and agonizing conclusion, this is a searing and nearly great film.
3.5/4

This movie is good, but the book is much better.
I liked Kate Winslet's performance very much; Leonardo diCaprio I still can't take seriously as an actor.
Actors like Leonardo diCaprio, Tom Cruise and a host of others have faces that hardly look like they've experienced much in life.
Contrast their faces with the faces of not just actors in the 1930s and 1940s but also directors.
-- Peter Lorre versus Tom Cruise.
-- Erich Von Stroheim versus ... Read More

This movie is about the stupidest flick we ever saw. My mother in law, my wife and I all watched this gagger and honestly could not figure out why we did not turn it off after 10 minutes.
Life sucks, then you get married, have kids and it turns to hell, we get it! We don't need two hours of fighting and unhappiness to prove what we already know. Life is challenging and you have to enjoy the good things when you can. In this movie there is no good things to enjoy, only misery and fighting.
