Who here lesbians?
Seriously though, this movie is amazing.
Cate Blanchett is amazing and her chemistry with Rooney Mara is the best I've seen on-screen in, well... ever!
Everything in this movie, be it the exceptional characters, the wonderful imagery, the costumes, the sets, the cars - it's all incredibly breathtaking, yet doesn't detract from the real and powerful and sweeping love story at its center.
10/10 - watch this movie!

ETA: Nominated for 9 motha-fucking BAFTA's!

ETA 2: Nominated for 5 Academy Awards as well! (although snubbed from a "best picture" nomination)

From what I've heard, it's amazing. I'm hoping they'll offer it at the free movie theater on campus in the next few months.

I've heard nothing but good things about this movie. I am also a fan of Cate. Maybe I can drag my boyfriend to go see it with me.

That's assuming her boyfriend has not seen enough movies about lesbians to conclude that isn't necessarily a seal of quality.



I tried to write that without double negatives.

There's a running joke in the lesbian community about how any lesbian film can either be good or have no-one die in it, but never both.
Carol managed to have both
