Reviews
"Sam Mendes's film, based on a faithful screenplay by Justin Haythe, is beautifully crafted, with excellent costumes, production design and cinematography"
"Directed with extraordinary skill by Sam Mendes, who warms the chill in the Yates-faithful script by Justin Haythe, the film is a tough road well worth traveling"
"Revolutionary Road is a very good bigscreen adaptation of an outstanding American novel — faithful, intelligent, admirably acted, superbly shot."
