Quick movie review: Revolutionary Road

I went to see Revolutionary Road yesterday with my friend Peter at the great Landmark Cinema in Kendall Square, Cambridge.  

I loved this movie.  

Wonderful, brilliant exchanges between Dicaprio and Winslet, and the movie is so beautifully shot.  For those that loved Todd Haynes' "Far from Heaven" you'll get a kick out of the film's lighter moments spotlighting the rigid (and oft-awkward) social mores that dictated behavior in the 1950s.

And the simple score is beautiful and is expertly up/down tempo'd to perfectly fit the mood of each scene.  Go see it!
