First things first, Leonardo DiCaprio was robbed of an Oscar nomination for his incredible role in this great drama. How on earth the members of the academy found Brad Pitt's performance in Benjamin Button better than Leo's electric performance in Revolutionary Road is beyond me. That being said, this movie is good and worth seeing if you love a good drama packed with issues. Kate Winslet also delivers an incredible performance and totally deserves the awards she has won for this movie as well (although she was snubbed for an Oscar nomination for this movie) And another unbelievable and memorable performance found in this movie is Michael Shannon, who steals two scenes in this movie next to acting giants like Winslet, DiCaprio and Kathy Bates. That's no small feat! Sam Mendes has directed another fine drama, and he also should have been nominated for an Oscar, but I certainly do understand that the Best Director category was a very competitive one this year. The acting is top notch, but the pace and storyline progression is somewhat weaker than a lot of great dramas out there like Slumdog, The Reader, and Frost/Nixon. Even Benjamin Button had a more solid pacing, and it was over 30 minutes longer in length. So, Revolutionary Road is a good movie, a good drama that is worth seeing, mostly for the incredible performances in it.
