Review of Carol (2015) by Csanders — 01 Jan 2016
The novel is called THE PRICE OF SALT. The movie, called CAROL, should be called ST. CATE. It is an inert election to cinematic sainthood of Blanchett. All the males are nerds at best. Even Mara sees the errors of her ways and comes to worship at her altar.
The script is laughable, the photography distracting, the pace sluggish. Blanchett's performance is a one-note hand in her hair, tossing of her hair, how-much-I-love-myself-and-you-should-too! Director Haynes is no Douglas Sirk, no matter how much he tries.
The producers, including St. Cate, should be ashamed of themselves; but, they probably don't know how to spell the word.
