New York, 1952. Therese, a young shopgirl with quiet ambitions, meets Carol — an older woman in the midst of a difficult divorce. What begins as a chance encounter across a department store counter becomes an affair that reshapes both their lives, played out against a society that would rather they didn't exist.
Why We Chose This Film
“Todd Haynes directs with the patience of a painter. Every frame is composed like a window into a world that's beautiful and suffocating in equal measure. Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara are extraordinary — their performances are built on glances, pauses, and everything left unsaid. A perfect film for a December evening.”
