Carol

Based on Patricia Highsmith's novel "The Price of Salt," this romantic drama chronicles the love affair between two women in 1950s New York City. As the obvious attraction between department store clerk Therese (Rooney Mara) and unhappily married Carol (Cate Blanchett) grows into something much deeper, the burgeoning relationship could have a disastrous impact on soon-to-be-divorced Carol's attempt to keep custody of her daughter. With Sarah Paulson, Kyle Chandler, Carrie Brownstein. 118 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English.
