Revolutionary Road (DVD) Reviews

I remember watching this when I was bored one afternoon unfrtunately it was also pretty boring so it did nothing for me. Billed as a romantic drama it was totally dull and insipid and is not a film I would recommend. It is a really slow moving film where very little happens for long periods and it really tested my stamina to sit through ...  Read the complete review

I was a bit bored last night so I decided to borrow a film from my Moms and give it a go. I picked Revolutionary Road to try so I sat down with a blanket over me as I'm a bit ill, my cats either side of me asleep and I had some chocolate and a drink so was ready for it. What I found was that it was a good film but just so slow to watch and after ...  Read the complete review

The first i heard of the film Revolutionary Road was when i was in the cinema and saw a trailer for it. It looked like a really heartwarming touching drama and i told myself i would definitely go and see it when it was released. Unfortunately it wasnt in the cinema very long so i bought the dvd and watched it last night. It is directed ...  Read the complete review

Stars: Kate Winslet, Leonardo di Caprio, both of whom starred in the multiple oscar winning Titanic. Their chemistry was brilliant there, and is in this film as well, despite the time spent apart. However, far from being a sugar sweet romance, this is a bitter tale of a couple trapped in a world they are desperate to escape, but ...  Read the complete review

Three words will reverberate around your cluttered conscience upon viewing REVOLUTIONARY ROAD; hopeless, emptiness and interesting. The later is the fake label placed upon suburban life in 50's America to conceal the reality of the formers; a spoken charade - a lie which all live in, but none are willing to confront. The film's (purposely) ...  Read the complete review

Comprising of a team of Leonardo Di Caprio-Kate Winslet(first time after their titanic) and director Sam Mendes(whose previous work includes the appalling American beauty), this film was eagerly awaited before the oscar seasons. I wanted to see this film because i wanted to give a chance to Sam mendes(I didn't know that he directed Road to ...  Read the complete review

This isn't Sam Mendes' first foray into suburban discontent - his superb American Beauty in 1999 won five Oscars, including Best Picture and a Best Director win for Mendes. Revolutionary Road didn't win any Oscars, but it's a thoroughly engaging film that covers many of the same themes, admittedly in a very different context, for it is based on ...  Read the complete review

Sam Mendes directs Revolutionary Road a film starring his wife Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio reuniting for the first time since Titanic. Unlike Titanic though, Revolutionary Road features none of the romance. The film is set in 1950's Hollywood Winslet plays April Wheeler married to DiCaprio's character Frank Wheeler. After they marry ...  Read the complete review

Leonardo Dicaprio and Kate Winslet reunited again after Titanic - I had a feeling this was going to be something special and I was not diappointed! It grabs you from the start, beginning with the night the two lovers met and switching almost straight away to their present day mediocre lives in the suburbs. It makes you wonder how they ...  Read the complete review

I had already read the book, and as we all know the film can sometimes be a bit of a let down. i wouldn't exactly say I was let down, but the film certainly isn't as good as the book by a long shot. Enjoyable enough, but if you have already read the book and enjoyed it, I would leave it at that. Di Caprio and Winslet are cast well in the main ...  Read the complete review

The acting is top-notch. Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet capture a different kind of magic from that one they had in "Titanic" but works just as well and beautifully. This tells a story that most adults will certainly be able to connect to. The heavily dramatised scenes do not seem too much to bear for the two quality leading actors. ...  Read the complete review

(film only review) There's a number of films I want to see, but never seem to have time or money to go to the cinema. This was one of them. I was intrigued to find out what the film, that gave Kate Winslett a Golden Globe winning performance, would be like. I had read mixed reviews of 'Revolutionary Road', but didn't read anything that ...  Read the complete review

'How do you break free without breaking apart?' Those who watched the recent glut of award ceremonies recently couldn't have helped seeing Kate Winslet's blubbing performances as she accepted her prizes for this film. It's certainly apparent to see why she won, as her characterisation of the bored American housewife is ...  Read the complete review

I had no expectations of Revolutionary Road. I am not a film buff. I don't watch many movies, dvds or go to the cinema very often. I don't know what Kate Winslet got her Oscar for. I wasn't that impressed with Leonardo in Titanic, it went on for way too long. In fact, I only went out last night to catch up with a friend I haven't seen for ages. It ...  Read the complete review

A married couple with two young children living in 1950's suburbia decide to move to Paris to escape their mundane lives, however when complications arise, their initial problems quickly escalate. This film deals with some very intense issues but even so it is slow-moving and it doesn't feel like much happens. I think it had an ...  Read the complete review

April (Kate Winslet) and Frank Wheeler (Leonardo DiCaprio) are a couple who see themselves as different to their conventional neighbours. They have high ideals that they feel sets them apart. April wants to be an actress and has studied at drama school. Frank works in ...  Read the complete review

For me, there have been three truly brilliant film releases in the last year: Slumdog Millionaire, The Reader, and Revolutionary Road. However, whilst the greatest strength of the first two is the plot or storyline, the power behind Revolutionary Road comes in the tour de force of acting given by all involved. THE PLOT: The story ...  Read the complete review
