November 3, 2009Wow . . . If you know me, you know that Kate Winslet is on my all-time favorite actors list. For me to put a living actor on my all-time favorite list takes some great work. If you know me, you also know that Leonardo DiCaprio not only is not on my all-time favorite actor list,...( read more)

August 8, 2009A bit of a slow, melodramatic tale of a married couple's so-called "boring" life in the suburbs in the 1950s. I'm really not a fan of these types of movies because I don't think life in the suburbs is as mundane as Hollywood portrays it... but that's just me.

July 13, 2009''Hopeless emptiness. Now you've said it. Plenty of people are onto the emptiness, but it takes real guts to see the hopelessness.''

July 9, 2009Kate & Leo have such great chemistry on screen, I enjoyed seeing them in another movie together.

July 2, 2009Impeccably staged insight into 50's suburbia which looks sumptuous. I think the mad neighbour who speaks the truth was an unnecessary misstep and I would have liked more back story on how their relationship formed and developed.

November 11, 2009This was the worst & most depressing movie I have seen all year, To make it worse it dragged on and on. It was just weird. It was one of those movies where I had to watch something else afterward just to get it out of my head.

November 6, 2009Triste e pesante, ma non assolutamente in maniera negativa.
È uno di quei film che devono essere metabolizzati, che rimangono in testa per tanto tanto tempo.

Brian Webster, Apollo Guide
This is a movie by and for the actors, especially for Kate Winslet, whose prodigious talents are well used throughout this bleak, troubling and powerful drama. full review

Mike McGranaghan, The Aisle Seat
Revolutionary Road is a very well-made film indeed, and if it stings a little, that is only a testament to how strong a work it is. full review

Kimberly Jones, Austin Chronicle
Revolutionary Road ranks right up there with Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? in its characterization of a coupling deeply scabrous and defective. full review
January 9, 2009
Michael Sragow, The Baltimore Sun
Revolutionary Road isn't just a failed literary adaptation. It's a failure of the worst kind: It doesn't even make you want to read Richard Yates' deservedly legendary book. full review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle
Viewers in the mood for rip-snorting marital combat should go ahead and partake, but they must prepare to leave the theatre in a state of profound depression. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
Winslet gives a fearless performance here. It's not her fault her husband has shrouded it in Taste. full review

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
This film is so good it is devastating. A lot of people believe their parents didn't understand them. What if they didn't understand themselves? full review
January 5, 2009
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
Sam Mendes has worked in this territory before with his Oscar-winning American Beauty. Revolutionary Road is a better movie because it doesn't rely on such blatant caricatures. full review
January 5, 2009
Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Revolutionary Road is easily the best-acted film of 2008, and one of the most corrosive. full review

March 3, 2009I got excited about this movie because it really related to me. Well not completely but I want to quit my job and move too! I really thought it was actually going to happen but then it didnt and that sucked. The ending of the movie was pretty random and uncalled for, I think. Extra sad for no reason. I guess I just had hopes of a story of triumph in leaving your mundane life behind and going for your dreams but they slapped me in the face.

January 18, 2009DiCaprio is truly SENSATIONAL in this film, giving by far the best performance among the cast, and actually elevates the film from being forgettable, to an actual experience.
