Carol (2015)



Todd Haynes latest film is an impeccable and beautifully photographed film adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's novel The Price of Salt. The technical standout is the precise and exquisite cinematography by Edward Lachman, as well as the production design by Judy Becker, which effortlessly pulls the viewer into the narrative. Cate Blanchett is elegant and demure, quite different than her explosive performance in Woody Allen's Blue Jasmine

The uplifting conclusion is a refreshing change from the tragic suffering of the LGBT community commonly found within films set during the 1950's. One of the best films of 2015.
