It makes me wish the word "epic" hadn't been completely diluted so I could bring the full weight of its meaning to bear on this love story. Extraordinary? Singular? Remarkable? Yes, all of those things too.

To call Carol a Christmas miracle feels like a gaudy understatement, but that's sort of exactly what it is.

Rated: 4.5/5

I loved it. I’m so glad that I saw it and that it exists in the world. It has definitely moved representations of lesbians forward, and I hope that the next time a movie like this is made, more viewers will be better able to feel it.

As premature as it might be to say in a review for an initial theatrical run, Carol more than earns the right of comparison to Brief Encounter in terms of quality. Frankly, it’s one of the new great romantic films.

Kết đẹp nha, cuối cùng chị Theresa bước qua nhiều người để gặp Carol và chỉ có hai người họ nhìn nhau cứ như đó là thế giới của riêng họ, và cho dù nhiều người xung quanh nhưng không ai có thể loạt vào thế giới riêng của họ cả. Và sẽ tiếp tục bước tiếp theo thời gian cho dù ở thiên đường hay địa ngục thì họ đều mãi bên nhau.🥰♥️
