Product description

Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara star in this romantic drama adapted from the novel by Patricia Highsmith. In the 1950s a New York department store employee and amateur photographer Therese Belivet (Mara) meets Carol Aird (Blanchett), a lady who has come to buy a Christmas present for her young daughter Rindy (Kk Heim). The two women soon strike up a friendship and, with Carol going through a divorce from husband Harge (Kyle Chandler), they decide to go away on a trip to Chicago where their relationship develops into a romance. But with Rindy's custody in question, Carol, worrying that she will be cut off from her daughter because of the nature of her relationship with Therese, has no choice but to leave. Despite their love for each other is their romance doomed to fail? The film was nominated for six Academy Awards including Best Actress (Blanchett), Best Supporting Actress (Mara) and Best Original Score (Carter Burwell).

Forget the LGBT status of this film, it is so much more than that.in essence it is a mesmerising and deeply touching story of two people who are inexplicably drawn to each other despite the social and circumstantial barriers standing in their way. Beautifully put together, amazing attention to period detail and a musical score that underlines and accentuates the characters’ emotions. Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara are incredible - their performances subtle yet so powerful and the chemistry between them I see palpable, so. I have passing between them in just stillness and a look, that you ache for them both in different ways. hand on Herat this is one of the best films I’ve seen, not least because it reminded me of what it felt like to fall deeply in love with someone for the first time. I’ve seen this film several times and I will return to it again and again. Brilliant.

Carol is an excellent lesbian film.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 October 2017

Carol in my opinion has the potential to become a classic lesbian film. It is about a young woman who works as a sales person in the toy department of a shopping centre. An older glamorous, wealthy married woman comes in to purchase a present for her daughter for Christmas. The two women become unlikely friends and go on a road trip to avoid the older woman's jealous husband, who she is in the process of divorcing.

The film focuses primarily on how lesbian women in the 1950's could become trapped and risk loosing their children; if they chose to get married to men, have children with them and then later decide to pursue what they really want from life. The film does a good job of portraying the confining and limiting rules that many lesbian women felt they had to accept at that time. As well as the manipulative and malicious actions of a husband who feels entitled to control the actions of his wife. It also does a fairly good job at portraying the confusion and mixed emotions of the younger woman, who is trying to forge a relationship with the older woman under these trying circumstances. It must also be said the film captures the atmosphere of the 1950's beautifully; from the classic hollywood glamour of Cate Blanchett's attire, to the soundtrack and props. Overall this is an excellent lesbian film that has atmosphere, pacing, and good acting, it certainly has the potential to become a lesbian classic.

No wonder this film scooped more than eighty awards, the attention to detail is sumptuous – 5 Stars

Carol is based on the novel “The Price of Salt” by Patricia Highsmith. Written in the 1960’s, it was the first lesbian book that gave the lovers at least the hope of a happy future.

Set in 1950’s America, the film details the developing relationship between Carol, an elegant socialite, and Therese, a young department store assistant. For both women, the relationship is complicated by their situation. Carol is going through a messy divorce and her controlling husband is cruel enough to use their young daughter as a bargaining chip in an attempt to control her. Therese, on the other-hand, is not yet twenty years old, and, has to come to terms with her feelings for Carol.

There are so many plus-points to this film, that it’s difficult to know where to begin. The screen adaptation has been done so sensitively; this is one film to which I had entirely the same response as when I first read the book decades ago. The sets are beautifully detailed and the acting, particularly from Blanchett and Mara is outstanding. Perhaps though, it’s the cinematography that pushes Carol in to the realms of film greats. So much of this film is about what’s not said, but each captured gesture and glance speaks more than a hundred words of script ever could.

A stunningly beautiful and moving romance – Highly recommended.

I can't say enough good things about this film. Shot in 50s New York the cinematography is flawless and synonymous with films from the actual 50s. The storyline is tender, thoughtful, surprising and heartfelt. There is tension, spontaneity, love, loss and heartache, tears and laughter. It is a beautiful film with superb and exquisite performances from Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara with the rest of the cast providing excellent supporting roles. The musical score is sublime, haunting and perfectly pitched. I could (and do) watch this film over and over again. There are so many aspects of the film you notice on watching again. I can't recommend it enough. Excellent quality blu ray.

A superb example of all the components of excellent film making coming together in harmony. Having read the book it is based on 'The Price of Salt' by Patricia Highsmith, it is as if the intended story has been delicately lifted off the canvas as it were. For it to be so true to the orignal story one must give maximum credit to the artistry of screenwriter Phyllis Nagy, the intuitive direction of Todd Haynes, the beautiful cinematography (the film is shot in super 16) of Ed Lachman and the utterly stunning performances of Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara. For this to have worked so magnificently, it was important to have interpreted the silences, the awkward moments when it was that which was left unsaid rather than that which was spoken and this component is portrayed to perfection. . . total credit to all involved. I am sure Ms Highsmith would have approved.

This was an era, the early 1950s, when it was taboo to express intimate feelings towards one's own gender, sublety was necessary, a delicate candour in private and a sophisticated approach to romance were all part of making it possible to dodge all the obstacles society put upon those who challenged the norm. It was a time when courtship romance was still alive, a time when it developed, smouldered, grew out of tender anticipation and desire and all this is reflected so well in this remarkably well crafted film. The soundtrack is good blending in the likes of Gerry Mulligan, Jo Stafford and many more appropriate artists. The cinematography is astonishingly beautiful and it is crowned by Carol's adorable bronze/beige Packard motor car.

Oh how I wish that all films were as all round good as this, everyone involved deserves credit for the team work that made it.
