Review of Carol (2015) by Shahins — 27 Dec 2015
Cate Blanchett's character reminded me of how she played her role in Blue Jasmine. In Blue Jasmine, her tired and joyless character made sense and made the story work. However, in Carol, the same boring character was not interesting, and it made me wonder why Therese (Rooney Mara) even liked her. The two characters had no chemistry, and even in their best moments, they lacked any joy and excitement.
The story offered nothing new that we have not seen in other movies where the love between two people is taboo or forbidden. Thelma & Louise, and also Brokeback Mountain are examples of two similar movies which are much more interesting to watch.
