This movie, though dark, showed just what could and did happen to marriages and dreams in the 50's. I thought that the acting was first rate but what else would you get with a cast led by DiCaprio and Winslet?!? Costumes were amazing and the supporting cast was right on! Kudos to all who put this fantastic movie together! Having read the book I was a bit skeptical but within minutes of the opening credits I knew that the movie would far exceed my expectations.
