Review of Carol (1990) by Shipper W — 15 Feb 2016
"Carol" was an excellent film, by far one of the best of 2015. I didn't expect to even like it, honestly thought it would be a pretentious mess of a film. But it's not at all. It had such a realistic feel to it and no stupid cliche when it comes to the love story.
Rooney Mara even though we've seen her play this role before in a sense, it was very different from what we've seen of her from those roles that it's offensive to say she's typecasting herself (which I've read people state that), and Cate Blanchett was a surprise as well, more so than usual.
I actually felt really sad for her character and the situation she was in with her life, mainly because Blanchett was so sincere with the role.The film was also beautifully shot and had a great score to it.
.. it's also a pretty quiet film, but it worked for me.
