Review for the film "
Carol"
Runtime:
1 Hour 57 Minutes
CAST & CREW
Carol is based on a 1952 novel The Price of Salt, written by Patricia Highsmith. This is a story dealing with lesbian love, and it would have created quite a sensation at that time. Now let’s see how the onscreen version is.
Plot
Carol is set in the 1950s. And Carol, who is an affluent homemaker, has ‘desires’ for Therese Belivet (a 20 something girl working in a department store;she has a boyfriend too) that she expresses in a subtle manner. Well, this is enough to comprehend the plot of the story.
Watch the movie to find out whether Carol’s (who is a mother too) desire, which has a strong impact on Therese, is accepted.
Star Performances
Cate Blanchett surely has a powerful onscreen charisma, and she gives a topnotch performance. She is seen in the movie with coats and dark lipsticks and is at her stylish best. And when she craves for both the love of her daughter (her husband poses a threat that he will take away the daughter from Carol) and Rooney she is incredible.

though has a minimal role, does a convincing job as the intimate companion of Cate.
Analysis
Todd Haynes has worked on films centered on women and in the film he executes the culpable feeling that most women get when they succumb to selfish joys. It is a surprise as to how a man can work on a women-centric film with such finesse.
It is to be noted that most of the important scenes in the movie happen in a car. Well, a car too seems to have a role in this movie!
What’s there?
What’s not there?
Verdict
Even if one may not appreciate the core concept of the film, the plucky facets of the lead characters on the screen will surely leave a mark.
