Revolutionary Road

The long-awaited return of a Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet team-up is no disappointment, as they brilliantly portray a young married couple in the 50s who are on the verge of marital collapse after becoming overwhelmed by the fact that they have made some wrong choices in their lives. Based on the novel by Richard Yates and directed by Sam Mendes, Revolutionary Road also features the talented Kathy Bates, and Michael Shannon who shined in his role as the clinically insane son of Ms. Bates, who can see through everyone's lies and forces them all to face the truth. Mendes, with his brilliant direction, has created a near carbon copy of the book, and Ms. Winslet has already been awarded the Golden Globe in the Best Actress category for her role.
