Leave your thoughts about Revolutionary Road.
| TheDivaReview.comDiva VelezThe best work that either DiCaprio or Winslet has ever done. Mendes masterfully conducts controlled fireworks of verbal savagery to suit the age of apropos and good reputations. |
| TV Guide MagazinePerry SeibertIndeed, all of the performers in the film truly shine, and all of them can probably thank Sam Mendes for creating an ideal environment. |
| London Evening StandardDerek MalcolmThe book and the film may be nailed to their Fifties period (everyone seems to smoke perpetually) but what Revolutionary Road says about not so quietly desperate lives is still appropriate today. |
| ViewLondonMatthew TurnerBeautifully shot, superbly written drama that exerts a powerful emotional grip and features terrific performances from a reunited Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. |
| Film.comJonathan F. RichardsIf Revolutionary Road had been filmed back in 1961, when the novel came out, it would have been timely and powerful. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertThis film is so good it is devastating. A lot of people believe their parents didn't understand them. What if they didn't understand themselves? |
| Denver PostLisa KennedyLike its cinematic kin, Frost/Nixon and Doubt, this, too, is a delicately crafted, prestige project whose translation to screen doesn't deliver the original's amazements. |
| Minneapolis Star TribuneColin CovertRevolutionary Road is easily the best-acted film of 2008, and one of the most corrosive. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleRevolutionary Road gets my vote as the best American film of 2008. |
| PopMattersBill GibronFrom cast to conclusion, Revolutionary Road is fate funneled through a true artist's muse. |
