AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Beanbioca As Good As It Gets

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Loui Blair It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

Fpallavicino Espectacular, vale la pena verla, muy parecida a lejos del paraíso

Gareth Crook The production design on this is beautiful. Even in its less glamorous scenes, it oozes 50s American charm. It's a fake world and a perfect setting for this story, an exercise in social control bristling with tense expectation and makes for a perfect setting for this love story. It's almost dreamlike, both Blanchett and Mara effortlessly floating from scene to scene. Mara, innocent, playful. Blanchett, cold, mysterious. Dialogue delivered calmly, the camera allowed to linger and drift. Music poignant, haunting. It's not all plain sailing of course, far from it, but the ups and downs are timed perfectly, the editor (Affonso Gonçalves) doing his work perfectly. In fact the pacing of the whole thing is pretty amazing. It's very much a film of twos. Two people, two worlds, light and dark. Fantastic!

dingxueying This movie has some magic power and I got addictive to it for more than a year. I love the beautiful feeling between them, subtle but unforgettable! I thought I would cry before I watched it but it turned that I didn't. Then I release that moving things couldn't always make people cry, they may change into another form that makes people still can touch them over months and months. Some people may question that why these two women fell in love suddenly but that is how love runs like. You love someone before you notice that. Also! Love Cate and Rooney! Thank you for your perfect performances!

paul2001sw-1 Todd Haynes' 'Carol', like much of his output, paints a inch-perfect picture of life as it was the 1950s, at least for the middle and upper-middle classes, the sort of protrayal that emphasises the idea that the past is another country and they do things differently there. My gut reaction is to dislike this approach, to feel that a focus on aesthetic differences or behavioural norms hides the essential truth that underneath, we're the same as we always have been. But I can't help but praise 'Carol', a quietly mesmerising movie about two women who have a very socially-unacceptable affair. The acting is good, the score is excellent, but what's really brilliant is that the film works as a portrait of individuals, motivated by their own mixtures of desire and need. This is less a story about the right to be gay, per se, as one about the more general right just to be yourself; but it doesn't shy away from presenting the innate selfishness of asserting that right. I particularly liked the way Cate Blanchett's eponymous character, older and glamourous, initially appears to be calling all the shots, but in fact it's her mousy companion who turns out to have the firmer idea of what she really wants. A subtle and excellent movie.
