Carol

DramaRomance118 min

In 1950s New York, Therese Belivet is a department-store clerk and aspiring photographer whose chance meeting with an elegant customer opens into a secret romance. Rooney Mara's Therese is drawn toward Cate Blanchett's Carol, an older woman whose marriage is breaking apart as she fights over custody of her daughter. Their relationship moves from Manhattan shop floors to train rides and hotel rooms, with Christmas lights and New Year's parties giving way to the pressure of divorce, social scrutiny, and the risks of being seen together. Todd Haynes directs with a precise sense of period and restraint.
