Revolutionary Road (2008) (100% PLUS)

There is no car crash in Revolutionary Road . No screaming detectives, no smoking gun. And yet, Sam Mendes’s adaptation of Richard Yates’s 1961 novel is one of the most harrowing horror films ever made—because the monster is the American Dream.

Leo and Kate reunite post-Titanic, but there’s no orchestra playing. Just the sound of two people slowly murdering each other’s souls with polite conversation. It’s brutal. It’s beautiful. Michael Shannon shows up for three scenes and walks away with the whole movie. revolutionary road (2008)
