Carol
As its bravura filmmaking unfolds, those specifics fade and what remains are the feelings and emotions that all the best movie love stories create.
Carol
In an adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s seminal novel The Price of Salt, CAROL follows two women from very different backgrounds who find themselves in an unexpected love affair in 1950s New York. As conventional norms of the time challenge their undeniable attraction, an honest story emerges to reveal the resilience of the heart in the face of change. A young woman in her 20s, Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara), is a clerk working in a Manhattan department store and dreaming of a more fulfilling life when she meets Carol (Cate Blanchett), an alluring woman trapped in a loveless, convenient marriage. As an immediate connection sparks between them, the innocence of their first encounter dims and their connection deepens. While Carol breaks free from the confines of marriage, her husband (Kyle Chandler) begins to question her competence as a mother as her involvement with Therese and close relationship with her best friend Abby (Sarah Paulson) come to light. CAROL is directed by Todd Haynes and written by Phyllis Nagy with moving performances from Blanchett, Mara, Paulson, Chandler, Jake Lacy and Cory Michael Smith.

MOREFEATURED REVIEW
Dana Stevens, Slate
The director Todd Haynes and the novelist Patricia Highsmith fit together like a hand and glove—a beautifully manicured hand and a sleek gray-green leather glove, two images that figure prominently in Carol, Haynes’ ravishing adaptation of Highsmith’s pseudonymously written second novel The Price of ...
