Revolutionary Road

I'm 31 years old, a mother of 3, and unmarried. I just got dumped by the father of my children yesterday. ( A very long story) I had a really hard time dealing with a whole lot of emotions, and received a phone call from a friend to go to the mall and maybe check out a movie.

It was between The Reader and Revolutionary Road. We didn't make it to the mall, but we decided to check out Revolutionary Road. I hadn't realized that this was the movie with Leonardo DeCaprio and Kate Winslett. (I have a schoolgirl crush on DeCaprio, and admire the work of Kate Winslett.)


This movie deserves an Oscar. I found it to be funny, smart, realistic, and ultimately, heart wrenching. Maybe it was because in some parts, the movie touched on some "relationship" problems, that I've been experiencing, as a mother, a woman, a friend, and a lover.

I would love to go into details, but as I always feel, I do not want to ruin it for the readers who would like to check it out.

I give it 5.5 stars.
