Review of Carol (2015) by Netflic — 14 Dec 2015
This is a drama about two New York women from very different social circles in the fifties who fall in love at the time when that was not socially acceptable. It's a sequence of sorts to director's Todd Haynes prior movie "Far from Heaven", which also raised a topic of homosexuality.
This film is very good creating an atmosphere of New York in the fifties. Great cinematography, excellent sound track. Kate Blanchett is a talented actress. Having said this, the movie did not impress me, it just lacked depth. I did not feel empathy towards any of the protagonists. The movie was too long; when it was finally over, I felt relief.
