Carol - Avaliações

When the film is successful it shows the loneliness of people not allowed to be who they are, although loneliness doesn't cover it.

...Carol’s central relationship is so compelling on its own—among other complication...

...brilliantly captures the thrills, tears and fears of forbidden love.

This is a film about entrapment and escape and finding out what is underneath the veneer — of society, our ourselves.

...skildrer den forbudte kærlighedsaffære mellem den æterisk smukke, tillokkende Carol Aird (Cate Blanchett) og den væsentligt yngre, men mindst lige så bedårende butiksassistent og aspirerende fotograf Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara).

Fortalt med en halv rammefortælling og enkelte flashbacks føles det som om vi befinder os midt i stormen uden at vide hvornår den egentlig rammer, og det sarte melodrama, som starter snigende, rusker i os helt til rulleteksterne.

Filmens styrka är [...] inte dess gaypolitiska dimensioner utan att den får publikens hjärtan att bulta så fort.

...the filmmaker smartly levels the playing field rather than allowing for even the slightest possibility of sensationalism. The bond between the two women plays out as elegantly as the period dressing surrounding them.

In Carol, all the elements dovetail perfectly to create a movie that is as irresistible as its title character.

Todd Haynes’ period romance starring Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara is a beaming masterpiece.

Nu är det inte bara skådespelet som är fantastiskt, de tekniska bitarna håller minst lika hög nivå.

Haynes fångar tidsandans klaustrofobiska intolerans genom att stänga in sitt kärlekspar.

...en stor, snygg och hajpad Hollywoodprodukt om förbjuden attraktion i en intolerant tid och miljö.
