Take two beautiful people, add a nmarriage, two beautiful kids, a good paying job, a beautiful home in the suburbs... and then bitch about it for two solid hours. Congratulations, ou have arrived at Revolutionary Road. Make no mistake, the acting was fine. U firmly believed that Kate and Leo were miserable... but that's all you get in this film. I understand the point tey were trying to make. The American dream can be hollow and keep people from living to their potential. Unfortunately, the film never gets there. It's just a painting of misery as two people verbally eviscerate one another for two hours. You can't even respect the characters. They wallow and flail in self pity, cry and howl about it, but refuse to do anything to change their situation (all the while having more than ample resources to make any change they want). The only bright spot in the film is two brief appearances by the only interesting character, a mentally insane man who was classified as such because he is brutally honest. Even that can't save this film from drowning in it's own pathetic nature.
I saw this for free, and I want my money back. That's two hours of my life I won't be getting back. |
