Review of Carol (2015) by Rick B — 17 Jan 2016

A big yawn for this film that was clearly made for the oscars due to the fact that, if you get off with somebody of your own sex and you're not really gay, then you have a free pass to the nominations party.

I am particularly annoyed that they gave Blachett the best actress nom and Mara the best supporting actress nom. This is the wrong way around. Rooney Mara has a bigger part in this film and should be well insulted by this.

The story is certainly not special, it is all just a stage for the big les-up.
