The most anticipated film at this year's Cannes was probably
Carol, the new movie from director Todd Haynes (
Safe,
Far From Heaven). Does it live up to expectations? Almost, which is not to say it isn't a real beauty. Cate Blanchett is especially terrific as the titular housewife engaged in a secret love affair with a much younger woman (Rooney Mara). My review is up at
Screen International.
