Set in 1950s New York, a department-store clerk who dreams of a better life falls for an older, married woman.
However, the film does well when it comes to the acting. Kate Blanchett and Rooney Mara are both fantastic, but that doesn't make up for the other lackluster aspects of the film. The story could have been done better and, again, part of this is due to its slow pacing.
Additionally, Carol, unfortunately, tries to "pull a boyhood" by promoting its 11 year development period, which, in turn, will increase a critical response as it will look as if more effort were put into the film.
Don't trust the critics, Carol isn't that special. Many other films currently out, like Steve Jobs and Inside Out should be given more love than this movie.
