Carol Ratings & Reviews

January 28, 2025
Really good if you like lesbian time pieces. Cate & Rooney's chemistry is undeniable.
Bitch Media
Grace Manger
A wonderful and all-too-rare film.
Autostraddle
Heather Hogan
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.
Complex
Kristen Yoonsoo Kim
To call Carol a Christmas miracle feels like a gaudy understatement, but that's sort of exactly what it is.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
The smile of recognition and understanding that closes things out is an unforgettable celebratory stunner that shook me right to my very core.
Grantland
Wesley Morris
This is a slender movie that Haynes gives plenty of antique atmosphere.
Baltimore Magazine
Max Weiss
Never has the impossible glamour of Cate Blanchett been used to better effect than in Todd Hayne's ravishing and romantic Carol.
Flavorwire
Jason Bailey
'Carol' feels like the third part of a loose trilogy of films set in the past, about women who are trapped by the confines of their time.
The Atlantic
David Sims
Haynes taps into universal anxieties about love and relationships without ever letting go of the sense of imprisonment that came with being gay in the 1950s.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
Haynes maintains the film's temperature at a low simmer and expertly brings it to the boil, but while "Carol" builds to a scene of intense eroticism, it's mostly about all the things you can't reach out and touch.
The New Republic
Will Leitch
This is about two people who didn't know what their lives were until they met each other, then scrambling, in their muted, buttoned-up way, to figure out what happens next. Haynes loves them so much that he believes they can. You will too.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
As a love story this left me unsatisfied, though I enjoyed the lush period trappings and the flattering sense of how enlightened I am compared to people in the 1950s.
San Diego Reader
Matthew Lickona
The lesbian affair at its heart is rendered with intelligence and care, and if there are speeches to be made, they are happily few, and far more personal than political.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Will love conquer all? Probably not. The bigger question is whether it will endure. The lush, beautifully acted and shot "Carol" answers this with a sweet smile.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Calvin Wilson
"Carol" demonstrates that a period piece can engagingly comment on modern times.
Washington Post
Ann Hornaday
"Carol" possesses the same quiet, catlike powers of its magnetic title character: It swirls around to ambush you ... and make you swoon.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
Cate Blanchett is outstanding as a married woman who falls for a younger woman. As that younger woman, Rooney Mara is even better.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
In Carol, all the elements dovetail perfectly to create a movie that is as irresistible as its title character. The movie has an allure that is almost trancelike, mimicking for the viewers the inescapable attraction experienced by the two main characters.
Chicago Tribune
Michael Phillips
Blanchett's a formidable technician, a performer of serious wit and fire. She serves "Carol" well and truly throughout.
Chicago Sun-Times
Richard Roeper
Haynes directs with a subtle precision, the script by Phyllis Nagy is a well-crafted gem, and Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara make for one of the most intriguing and memorable movie couples of the year.
