► 6 Oscar nominations, 2016  

Dans le New York des années 1950, deux femmes se retrouvent prises au piège entre les conventions et leur attirance mutuelle.

« Ce n’est pas seulement un film au décorum soigné, mais un poignant drame amoureux, où Haynes continue à s’affirmer comme le héraut du cinéma queer, tout en rendant hommage au grand mélo hollywoodien.. » (L’Humanité)

« Screenwriter Phyllis Nagy has superbly adapted Highsmith’s novel. Nagy’s version brings out both the drama and the swoony, ambient mood; Haynes’s direction and Affonso Gonçalves’s editing take her script at a cool andante. The film shows us the corsetry and mystery with which gay people in the 1950s could manage their lives with dignity, but it also inhales the clouds of depression and self-control into which Carol has had to retreat and from which she is now defiantly emerging » (The Guardian)
