Review of Carol (1974) by David S — 01 Dec 2016
A story of 2 women who stumble upon each other and are immediately drawn together. This film was fantastic, even for not being my cup of tea. Such a strongly written script supported by a great cast lead by Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara.
Their chemistry is so strong together and it really benefitted from it. Carol is a powerful film just by the subject matter. Being gay in the 1950's was extremely frowned upon. Rooney Mara played such a subtle and quiet character who is trying to find herself, and Cate Blanchett, a powerful and confident woman who is also lost in what she wants at this point of her life.
The score was also very, very good. I am very surprised I enjoyed this as much as I did.
