Review of Carol (2015) by Darylzer0 — 21 Feb 2016
This movie is SOOOOOOO overrated. I wish Anthony Minghella or Sydney Pollack were alive to direct this. The movie had very good art direction and little else going for it. There was little to no chemistry between leads.
Sarah Paulson and Ellen Page should've been in the leads as they really are lesbian. And like others have said, there was little to know about Rooney's character so how would Carol even love her so immediately, let alone love her over Paulson's more interesting character? The movie was TOO slow.
The music was a little too intrusive at times, though mostly beautiful. And the script needed a lot more subtext; especially for that era. I'm going to have to watch The Talented Mr. Ripley again just to wash the mediocre taste out of my mouth from this.
Matt's a lot more convincing as gay than Rooney was in Carol.
