Review of Carol (2015) by Ben K — 26 Dec 2015
The core of the movie - the romance between the two women - was rather underwhelming. For a rather slow paced movie of almost two hours runtime, the lovers did not manage to develope any chemistry or deep connection (at least to me as a viewer) aside from longingly staring at each other. Their fascination for each other is obvious and portrayed well, but "love" on a deeper level is not credible and developed enough.
Blanchett and Mara both are great actresses on their own, they portray interesting characters and the film is beautiful to look at, but the lack of chemistry drags down this promising movie for me.
