Revolutionary Road

Revolutionary Road - Dvd (2008)
I guess living the dream, then doing something unexpected was a bit revolutionary for the average 1950s family, but I really didn't get it, and think I have missed the point of the movie. I am sure lots of girls had dreams of living artistic lives in Paris or London at the time.

Kate Winslet did a great job, I loved her Princess Grace persona at the beginning and you could sense her slide by the lack of hairspray, dowdy dresses and not so perfect makeup. Leonardo, I didn't find him believable, I felt like he was playing dress up and pretending to be his grandfather.

2/5 - it was nice to look at, and beats the rubbish that tv pumps out.
