Verdict on Boulevard

Boulevard is a drama following an everyday normal man, married and mid-level job role. He has been married for convenience, but his life starts to unfold around him as he decides to explore more of the secret life he wants.

This movie shows that people could have normal lives with bigger secrets. It proves that people might do things to settle, rather than enjoy life. The most important reality is being able to accept who you are and what you want in life. Robin Williams is excellent and the supporting cast is excellent too.
