Carol is a beautiful, little love story between an older married woman (Cate Blanchett) and a younger shop girl (Rooney Mara) in the early 1950s.
I very much appreciated the tenderness of the film, and it's avoidance of violence. I love Far From Heaven, but I was very nervous about how Carol would end. I predict Oscar nods for Haynes, Blancett, and Mara as well as for costume and set design. This is a beautiful film.
5/5
