Alicia I love this movie so much
Beanbioca As Good As It Gets
Mandeep Tyson The acting in this movie is really good.
Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.
saraccan Really good acting by both actors. I liked the small twists and turns thay they had to make you guess how the story is gonna unfold. I think how much one can enjoy this movie depends on how much they can relate to their situation. It's about young married American couple with two kids who all of a sudden decide to move to Paris for a chance of a fresh start.
lovaszi-peter An outstanding drama demonstrating an awfully common problem of our society, which often isn't being recognised by the suffering party. The drama has 3 main characters - April (Kate Winslet) the housewife, Frank (Leonardo DiCaprio), the main character and will talk about the third one later.If you experience anything what you've seen in the movie, you are psychologically abused and should see someone specialised immediately. Frank personalises the perfect abusive husband who knows all the trick how he can terrorise April without ever hurting her physically. But she doesn't give up, tries to change their life entirely, Frank gives the hope, agrees with April, but when he has to do action, he finds excuses every time. And again and again so he can let April down. Well, this is not the first one of its subject. The third main character is John (Michael Shannon), who says out loudly the truth and is intelligent enough to analyse the main characters psychologically - ironically he is considered psychopath for doing it so in this 1950's society.Overall it is a good movie representing important values, but not an easy watch. You might get confused about April's personality and behaviour, which demonstrates how much she suffers due to the abuse she has to take.
daoldiges Revolutionary Road really is a road, and it's where the two main characters, a married Leonardo DeCaprio and Kate Winslet, have purchased their first home from realtor Kathy Bates to raise their two children. It's in CT and Leonardo's character commutes into the city every day to a job he doesn't like and comes homes each night to Kate Winslet who is an unfulfilled actress. They're unhappy with their lives and devise a plan to suddenly move to Paris, thinking that is what they need to feel happy. Things don't go quite as planned though. I liked all of the performances and this film looked good too. Unfortunately the characters were somewhat flat and one dimensional. There is a lot of emotion put forth by the characters but as a viewer it's not really felt, only on display. I think there was a lot og good elements here but for me they don;t really add up to a satisfying experience.
huggibear It was very well acted and it certainly pertained to real lifestyles way back in those days, when times were tough, money was minimal, birth control was limited (I know, I'm a child from a parent that grew up with 12 other children-the baby booming era), but yet choices were plentiful. The settings were phenomenal, exactly to that decade. I even remember the plexi-glass partitions that separated each office cubicle. But the great cinematography had all the old cars in the driveways and in drive-bye's as well. The types of suits and clothes they wore and the aprons all reminded me of that era. This movie has all the emotions covered, most of them. It's worth watching! It's a solid 7 Star movie because even though it was not predictable, it was really good.
