Review of Revolutionary Road (2008) by Jim C — 25 Apr 2011

The story isnt the star, the incredible and perfect performances from DiCaprio and Winslet. Revolutionary Road is one of the greatest film achievments of all time. The plot was, dare I say, genius. The acting deserved so many awards its not even a laughing matter.

The movie was genius, that can truly relate to people with family problems, I love this movie.
