Synopsis

New York, early 1950s. Therese Belivet works in a Manhattan department store and dreams of a more fulfilling life when she meets Carol Aird, a seductive woman trapped in a failing marriage. Sparks fly, and as the innocence of their first encounter fades, their connection deepens.

Our take

One of the most beloved films of this century, Todd Haynes’ Oscar®-nominated Carol is a stunningly directed story of forbidden love. Evoking Douglas Sirk’s lush melodramas, this adaptation of Patricia Highsmith’s novel features intimate and moving performances from Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara.
