Revolutionary Road DVD Review – Lives of Quiet Desperation
June 16, 2009 by Jane Boursaw
| Movie: Revolutionary Road * Trailer * Official Site | In Theaters: Dec. 26, 2008; On DVD: June 2, 2009 |
| Runtime: 119 minutes | Directed by: Sam Mendes |
| MPAA Rating: R for language and some sexual content/nudity | Gecko Rating: |
As a rule, I generally don’t like movies that revolve around couples arguing. But as you can see above, I gave "Revolutionary Road" 5 out of 5 Geckos, and the reason is simple: Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio.
As I was watching this movie, I kept thinking, here’s a couple who really work well together. It’s like they’re hardly acting, because they’re so natural with each other, their dialogue and actions playing beautifully off each other. They’re a modern-day Kate Hepburn and Spencer Tracy, only way more intense and dramatic.
