Perfect for mature teens
"Revolutionary Road" is a complex drama telling the story of a young couple who get sick of the mundane regularity of their lives. They attempt to change their lives for the better, with drastic results. "Revolutionary Road" ia a grown-up film with superb performances from Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio. I am not saying that teens won't like it but I do think that it i one for mature-thinking teens. There is a fair amount of swearing (mainly the f-word) in the argumentative scenes and some religious parents might have a problem with the abortion theme. In my opinion, this is a must-see. Stellar performances, a fine script and a gripping story. Not many laughs - it is a depressing film - but I highly recommend it and it presents a powerful, very positive message - follow your dreams.

Not good for any age to watch!
I watched this movie because the good actors attracted my attaention and somewhere someone told me it was a good movie! I felt trapped watching it. I wanted to finish it hoping that somewhere there will be some good lesson or maybe a better ending. Man, it went from bad to worse. I felt sick afterwards. If i want my teenagers to see a really sick bunch of characters, while teaching them how to not treat your spouse, I would choose this movie!

Okay for older teens and adults, no children
It's dissapointing that the review on violence made no mention of the abortion that Kate Winslett carried out in the movie. THere is a lot of blood and it is a very traumatic part of the film. It causes me to wonder if the movie was even watched in the entirety by the critics.
