Revolutionary Road by no means revolutionary.
Jackie and I saw it with some friends this weekend - more as a back-up solution to the one we wanted to see, which was too crowded - and while I wouldn’t go so far as to say it’s two hours of my life I’ll never get back, I’d certainly recommend your reconsidering seeing it.
It’s heavy and brooding and kind of depressing, and I left the theatre without feeling like I’d seen something important or particularly moving.
It’s going to be up for Oscars, I have no doubt, but that just underscores the reality that - as I’ve found with both books and movies - just because it’s up for (or has won) awards doesn’t mean it’s my thing.
As said to friends, I guess check it out if you’re feeling too happy and could use some sobering up, but other than that? Take a pass.
