Review of Revolutionary Road (2008) by Michael V — 30 Aug 2012

The perfect drama in a lot of ways. Sam Mendes has topped American Beauty and Road to Perdition in my honest opinion with a brilliant portrait of... reality? The film touches on some relevant, emotional and personal themes. If you've ever asked yourself who you really are or who you really want to be, or what you really want to do, or be doing, then you should feel right at home with the core of this film.

The scenes are incredibly compelling although there is a complete lack of action (at least that you're used to seeing in films) which just means it's a movie that ordinary people with complex thoughts and feelings can relate to. Rarely does a film truly captivate my interest and encourage me to think about myself, but Revolutionary Road is definitely one that does.
