Movie Review: “Carol”

I highly recommend the current movie, “Carol” as it is quite entertaining and tells a heartfelt love story with beautiful images of the New York area set in the 1950’s.

Once again Cate Blanchett who won the best lead actress Academy Award for her performance in Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine, is brilliant.

Rooney Mara, yes she is a product of the union between the football families Rooney and Mara, gives a nice performance as I saw her for the first time since “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.” This movie is much better as in Mara’s performance.

Oh the places, (The Oak Room), the then current film (Sunset Boulevard) and other tidbits add to another great effort by Ms. Blanchett and nice work by Ms. Mara, playing Ms. Blanchett’s character’s lover.

The amazing, two time Academy Award winning actress, Cate Blanchett pictured above, stars in a superb film, “Carol.”
