What hasn't already been said about Carol that I can say here? If you have not yet had a chance to watch the lesbian love story between Rooney Mara and Cate Blanchett, do not worry because it is officially getting a wide release this month, so you can finally join all the other Carolholics.
1. It's beautiful
Have you not seen the photos, the gifs, the trailers?!
2. Cate Blanchett
I mean, it's CATE. BLANCHETT.
3. Rooney Mara
If you didn't already know that Cate Blanchett is a *magical creature,* you will soon realize it after watching this film. Even Rooney Mara is obsessed with her!
Rooney Mara on Cate Blanchett:
"I think I was 13. I went to our little local theater with my mom, and I was like, ‘Oh, my God, who is that woman?’ She’s just so incredible. It was pretty easy to pretend to be enamored by her. And she’s quick and witty and funny. She’s very confident. It’s amazing. Usually it’s not that great to meet your idols and work with them; it’s kind of a letdown. This definitely wasn’t. She’s much different than I had in my head, but kind of better, in a way."
4. Their chemistry on film
It's undeniable.
5. Even Tumblr is shipping them
Doesn't that matter to Hollywood executives??!!?!?!
6. The dialogue
Seriously, check this out:
“Dearest, there are no accidents, and everything comes full circle. No explanation I offer will satisfy you. You seek resolutions because you’re young, but you will understand this one day."
7. The movie posters alone will give you FOMO
Seriously.
8. It already has a CAROLING fandom. Carolholics?
Fan art included.
9. Sarah Paulson
For this moment alone.
10. It's directed by TODD HAYNES
Magical.
11. It's Christmas season. This is a Christmas movie.
It's the giving season, and all award selection committees should choose CAROL as the award winner for every category, tbh.
