Review of Carol (2015) by Ratedrex — 06 Jan 2016
The story of "Carol" was told deliberately. I enjoyed the pace. Cate Blanchett once again showed why she is the greatest actress of her generation. This isn't her best performance, but it is still worthy of an Oscar nomination.
Rooney Mara's character was a little confusing. I never understood WHY she was attracted to Blanchett's character. Her performance is decent, but nothing special. In all, "Carol" is a nice, mature telling of an interesting story.
What makes "Carol" special is the production and the sets. The 50s set pieces were spectacular. You really got the feeling that you were watching life during that era.
