Revolutionary Road

Two of the best young actors

Featuring two of the best young actors (and arguers) on the planet this bleak anti-romance about a marriage imploding in 1950’s suburbia showcases DiCaprio and Winslet a long, long way from “Titanic.” People will argue over the film’s histrionic tendencies but stars Kate Winslet and Leonardo DeCaprio bring it in every scene and produce an admittedly depressing film worthy of debate despite Sam Mendes’ penchant for tedium and heavy-handed direction.

Grade: B
Rated R for language, some sexual content/nudity
