"CAROL possesses the same quiet, catlike powers of its magnetic title character: It swirls around to ambush you ... and make you swoon."

Washington Post

"At once ardent and analytical, cerebral and swooning, CAROL is a study in human magnetism, in the physics and optics of eros. With sparse dialogue and restrained drama, the film is a symphony of angles and glances, of colors and shadows."

New York Times

"Loneliness and longing are at the center of these two women's lives, at least for a while, and they're expressed by nuance and implication in a pair of superb performances, and by a lovely evocation of the period."
