But it is a great film of this great book."   House Next Door   Dan Callahan 3.5/4 "...consistently elevated by the superb performances and Sam Mendes' expectedly enthralling directorial choices."   Reel Film Reviews   David Nusair B+ "It reunites again Titanic doomed shipmates Leonardo DiCaprio, Kate Winslet and Kathy Bates, but this time as doomed suburbanites."   Ozus' World Movie Reviews   Dennis Schwartz 4/5 "An unforgettable film and one of the year's best."   Film Threat   Don R. Lewis 5/10 "jo%u0161 jedan primjer u dana%u0161njem Hollywoodu sve iritantnijeg %u017Eanra "dajte mi Oscar" filmov"   Index.hr   Dragan Antulov 2/4 "Extremely well-acted and not without its effective interludes, Mendes' latest effort is done in by a final ten minutes that lessen the story's would-be impact with an overload of tacked-on contrivance."   DustinPutman.com   Dustin Putman 3/5 "(...) Al menos desde ¿Quién le teme a Virginia Woolf?, de Mike Nichols (1966), no se veía en el cine estadounidense el resquebrajamiento de un matrimonio de manera tan cruda y tan honesta."   Uruguay Total   Enrique Buchichio B+ "This is not the film to see if you're looking for light, frivolous entertainment, but it reflects humanity in a way that can be cathartic."   EricDSnider.com   Eric D. Snider "It plays like Douglas Sirk without the irony."   DVD Review   Felix Gonzalez Jr. "Middlebrow self-consciousness"   CinePassion   Fernando F. Croce A "A bleak, bitter, brilliant portrayal of the failure of the fifties version of the American dream it so beautifully captures in period terms."   One Guy's Opinion   Frank Swietek 4/5 "An unflinching look at the discontent of a suburban couple and the ways they deal with the death of their dream of liberation."   Spirituality and Practice   Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat B "An actors' showcase for its iconic duo...and both have grown impressively since they last swooned shipside."   Modern Fabulousity   Gabriel Shanks "Despite all the shouting, the red-rimmed eyes, the furious seething and spitting, Revolutionary Road is a largely emotionless film, too often a hurried, Hollywood-slick vision of malicious marital misery."   The L Magazine   Henry Stewart 3.5/4 "Revolutionary Road/i> is dramatically potent material and, although it poses a number of philosophical questions, it works best as an unsentimental examination of a marriage in crisis."   ReelViews   James Berardinelli 3.5/4 "The build-up gains slow momentum but once it finds its rhythm Rev Road is positively devastating"   Palo Alto Weekly   Jeanne Aufmuth 5/10 "So straight and formal there's no room to breathe."   ReelTalk Movie Reviews   Jeffrey Chen "Parental Content Review"   Screen It!   Jim Judy 1/4 "Affected, overwrought misstep from director Sam Mendes tracks the brutal disintegration of a 50s-era suburban couple in high style and higher melodrama."   Big Picture Big Sound   Joe Lozito 5/10 "...more of a sedate lecture on values than a revealing or entertaining look at life and love."   DVDTown.com   John J. Puccio "If Revolutionary Road had been filmed back in 1961, when the novel came out, it would have been timely and powerful."   Film.com   Jonathan F. Richards 3.5/4 "Revolutionary Road is content to be a powerful film about an ordinary troubled marriage; the kind taking place in a handful of houses on your block - perhaps even in your own."   Bangitout.com   Jordan Hiller 4.5/5 "Is the movie trying too hard? In moments of self-doubt, I wonder...I found the performances stellar and I was emotionally rocked and rolled; I ask for little more."   Cinerina   Karina Montgomery B- "By emphasizing the breakdown of a marriage without ever establishing the hope and dreams that gave birth to it, Mendes has made leaden and incessantly depressing what was insightful and breathlessly dramatic on the page."   Reeling Reviews   Laura Clifford "Chilly and academic, thoroughly admirable but one step removed from the very real angst of a movie like The Man in the Grey Flannel Suit (1956)."   Miss FlickChick   Maitland McDonagh 2/4 "Can't tell whether Mendes speaks through his characters or speaks about them"   Movie Habit   Marty Mapes 3/4 "However familiar it may ring, this very downbeat tale about dreams dashed in the name of stifling social conformity feels freshly devastating, thanks to the lead pair."   TheMovieReport.com   Michael Dequina 3.5/4 "Revolutionary Road is a very well-made film indeed, and if it stings a little, that is only a testament to how strong a work it is."   Aisle Seat   Mike McGranaghan B "It may be, as Thoreau said, that "most men lead lives of quiet desperation," but in the movies, desperation is much more likely to be loud."   Beliefnet   Nell Minow 1.5/4 "Dutifully reproduces incidents and particulars while only rarely glancing at the underlying element of self-deception, of acting a part, that defines said moments."   Slant Magazine   Nick Schager 3/5 "Terrivelmente prejudicado em função da abordagem distanciada e excessivamente racional de Mendes, que parece estar sempre julgando e condenando seus personagens."   Cinema em Cena   Pablo Villaca 3/5 "A beautiful-looking but essentially lifeless work that would seem more at home on a mantelpiece than on a movie screen."   eFilmCritic.com   Peter Sobczynski 4/5 "Mendes digs into suburban life with a riveting and ultimately stark marital drama.... And it's the terrific acting that keeps us engaged."   Shadows on the Wall   Rich Cline 3/5 "As it goes on, Revolutionary Road starts to feel like a tepid rewrite of a Douglas Sirk weepie."   eFilmCritic.com   Rob Gonsalves 1.5/4 "The cinematic equivalent of watching a balloon deflate slowly, agonizingly, through a microscopic pinprick."   Suite101.com   Rob Humanick A "The result of all this combined talent is a masterpiece of a film that reveals the hidden disease at the heart of American life in the 1950s."   Laramie Movie Scope   Robert Roten B "It is good, not great, and it is the two stars that make this worth the price of admission."   Reeling Reviews   Robin Clifford 7/10 "Kate Winslet's message is strong and if you don't get it the first time Kathy Bates will tell you again, but it could have been delivered sans hysteria. Flawless sets and costumes make this a sumptuous but sad trip into the '50s."   Monsters and Critics   Ron Wilkinson "These are performances - and lives - lived in quotation marks."   Parallax View   Sean Axmaker 2.5/5 "reminds us how, in 120 minutes, a picture can go from "I can not wait to see that" to "I never want to see that again.""   Filmcritic.com   Sean O'Connell 7/10 "Hoplessly bleak and disturbingly detached, this dissection of a doomed marriage is saved by Kate Winslet's formidable performance."   SSG Syndicate   Susan Granger 7/10 "Even though we could reasonably wonder if there had to be yet another one of these blasted suburban satires, at least Revolutionary Road is a pretty good entry in the field."   Antagony & Ecstasy   Tim Brayton 1.5/4 "you outgrow these arguments--you only hope that the entertainments intended to illuminate as you get more curious have the decency to mature at the same pace"   Film Freak Central   Walter Chaw 3.5/4 "Suburban malaise has seldom been better looking or better acted."   Oscar Guy   Wesley Lovell "Click here to see review"   Wolf Entertainment Guide   William Wolf  (1 - 49) of 49 OFCS Rating: 67% Fresh Page   1
