It's ok. There are some very sad and emotional parts that are done very well, but there's also some scenes in the movie that are either too sexual or more light-hearted (and I use that term very lightly) that are almost unbearable to…

Fantastic acting and very reflective of the mood of the book. Obviously, the book is better. Richard Yates depicts everyday life with great perception and subtilty.

Warning! Contains Spoilers! Sam Mendes is best known as the director of "American Beauty", but this was a better film, even if it didn’t win any Academy awards. It was a long wait from the publication of the novel “Revolutionary Road” in…

I thought it was a waste of talent and a waste of time. Basically a bunch of unhappy people yelling at each other. At the movie’s end I wondered what was the point of it. I wasn’t entertained and didn’t feel like it offered any insight.

I really don't know what I can write about this movie that would do it justice. It perfectly captures the angst and the day-to-day "little death" of contemporary living. It's based upon American author Richard Yates' debut novel about…

I thought it was a good movie, Kate and Leonardo did wonderful acting. I did not like the ending though. I guess some people are not meant to have children.

This is a great movie, very powerful. There seems to be an organised group of anti-abortionists who have planted bad reviews about this film. Pay no attention. Read the reviews of professional film critics if you need to, but down be…

This is pro-abortionist propaganda masquerading as a heart renching suburban drama. Safe to say there's nothing revolutionary about Revolutionary Road.

A story of people trying to get what they want in the 1950s, the age when everyone seemed to be getting what they wanted, at least in suburban NYC and CT. Two prominent themes are the lack of choices for women at that time and the…

Revolutionary Road, directed by Sam Mendes, shows us a more unpleasant side of marriage. Set in 1955 we meet April and Frank Wheeler, played by Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicaprio, a seemingly perfect young couple filled with all the hopes…

The professional film critics got it right in my opinion. Kate Winslett deservedly won the Golden Globe award for best actress for her role in this film. By the way, Leonardo DiCaprio was a nominee and he was very good in this film. These…

One of the most boring and tedious movies I've ever seen. Not recommended.

Great movie all around. Fantastic acting.

I thought the movie was long and boring. I didn't know if April was bipolar, obsessive, a slut or all three. Frank wanted out then he wanted in then he wanted out. He had a pretty wife and was messing around with that woman from work who…

First off, if you think this is going to be Titanic 2, think again. Second, if you are looking for a wholesome family movie that will melt your heart, this isn't it. However, if you are willing to deal with a bit of stark reality - this…

There was nothing wrong with the acting, but the movie itself was one of the most depression movies I have ever seen. It wasn't even particularly unique. Kind of boring, actually. I went into this with high expectations and ended up very…

the intense acting truly conveys the brutality for their situation, and the ending left me shocked and frozen, and elevated the movie somewhat that it did not end with the typical hollywood happily ever after.

A very confronting film. Kate Winslet is superb

this is an extroridnary piece of art... diffidult viewing for those born into the the 1950s but accurate reflection of the times. Easier to watch than trying to plough through Doris Lessing's reflections of the same period.

Well acted drama based on the lives of two suburbanites. As they turn from idealistic youths full of hopes and dreams into settled middle-aged couple, with life decisions getting in the way of their ideals, they see themselves becoming…

A good movie. Well done. Just not my flavor perhaps. Marriages, relationships, betrayal, jealousies, non-communicative individuals screaming with body language...ick.

A very good, albeit depressing, film with a fantastic score by Thomas Newman.
