Light version of "Road to Revolution"

Sam Mendes finally didn't depress me anymore, but he didn't move me either. This "Relocation for Children" is simply the first part of "Road to Revolution", just like "Road to Revolution" is very similar to the first part of "American Beauty", but each of the three films is more deliberate, "We" I put everything I wanted to say on the table, the preaching atmosphere was too strong, and it wasn't such a profound truth, why bother?
By the way, the friends that this young couple has met all over the world are too nervous, one is more extreme, especially the mother who doesn’t use a stroller played by Maggie, and of course the bare-mouthed mother played by Allison. It's not representative. If the director chose the two plain-looking starring actors to give the audience a more common sense of story, those crazy friends just weaken this feeling, making the whole film look plain, plain, simple, and acrimonious. Nonstick.
Before watching this film, I thought it was a story with great potential. After watching it, I realized that the blame had to be as influential as Mendes’ previous works. Did he and his wife both win Oscars, and Mendes lost the motivation to make good films? Hehe, it should be just a short relaxation.
