mrdanielhur Cate Blanchett as Carol convinces us with a love story how great of an actress she is. Cate Blanchett is truly emotionally powerful and helps us give a glimpse of a beautiful character to time travel. Easily emphathizing with her, Cate Blanchett gives yet another great performance that could have been her most toughest and most powerful role yet!

Stephen Crotty Acting was not as good as the critics say. It was good, nothing more. Story could have been interesting but meandered nowhere. I really can't feel inspired to say much more about this yawn fest.

merelyaninnuendo CarolGazing each other across the room or touching someone for the first time or even talk about them to someone else is depicted as electrifying as it is in real life and this is something that very few of them can achieve. Carol is a suave and mild love story that is too practical to be a film and still Todd Haynes pulls it off with Phyllis Nagy's smart adaptation from the novel with enough drama for the audience to rely upon for 2 whole hours. Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara are the keys that withholds the audience throughout the movie with a great supporting cast like Sarah Paulson and Kyle Chandler. Carol as mentioned earlier is electrifying mortified portrayal of two stellar performances that subdued the smart writing, perfect editing and horrific emotions running in each and every scene in it.

Ben W A rating of 7.2?? You are not kidding me, right?? There is nothing particular or interesting in this movie.Love? I don't see any real love between the two women in this story. Lust may be!Passion? If one decided to leave your husband and family for the truth love, one should have the gust and passion to go for it. But when the wife got the telegram she was already behaving like a chicken. When the other woman wanted to have a true love from an affair with a married woman, why could she have just honestly confessed to her boyfriend instead of blaming him annoying her. Nothing has this affair shown or told something beautiful.Chemistry? The casting is not good. I don't know whether the two actress are lesbians, straight or bisexual, there are simply no chemistry between the two. The love scene has shown not much passion too.Five stars is already far too much for this movie. I would rather prefer via youtube to watch those web BL movies like Uncontrolled Love, The Third World, Lost Love, History - My Hero, and Red Balloon etc. They are low budget productions for web sending but brings and shows much more love and passion!
