Revolutionary Road
Stylish
if somewhat cold film based on an acclaimed novel about life in the stifling
‘burbs in the 1950’s. Kate Winslet is
excellent as the frustrated housewife
and Leo Di Caprio surprises with the
ability to show the pain and lack of understanding he has of his wife’s
predicament.
Kathy Bates and Michael
Shannon
support admirably. All told, an
absorbing film which perhaps does not quite set one alight with enthusiasm.
