Carol.
Ok... Firstly I want to say that if you haven't read the book yet, then go see the film first.
Because to fit all that the book entails into a few hours is a challenge.

I will also say you must go and see it, purely to make up your own mind.

This film is still with me now, and I am marinading it over.
I think possibly its because I had read the book first, and was so consumed by its plot and more so the two women, their emotions & undeniable connection, that this film just fell a tad short for me.
(I may say this in haste though after a breather away from it)
But again this is only a personal view.
I don't dislike this film by any means and I know of other people who simply adore this film.
For some reason I didn't really feel consumed by it.

But don't let my review stop you going to see it.

I will say that the sets are beautiful, and the acting is exceptional.
And unlike the book the very long intro between the two women isn't as long in coming.

Perhaps after waiting a whole year for this movie, reading and watching teasers I had this so built up in my head that nothing could compete.

Please go and make the effort to see it, then at least you can judge for yourself.

I will take a break from Carol, then come back to it when its out on dvd and hopefully my view will have changed.

I hope you all love it.
