Sweet Dreams Review [LFF 2016]

There's just about enough in Sweet Dreams to make it worthwhile. Yes it's static, yes it's dour and by Christ does it take its time getting anywhere, but the good just about outweighs the bad.

Carol Review

Adapted from Patricia Highsmith’s much-loved 1952 novel The Price of Salt, Carol chronicles the romance between Therese Belivet (Rooney Mara), a young New Yorker working in a department store and Carol Aird (Cate Blanchett), a married society mother. Set in the early 1950s, lesbianism (and homosexuality in general) is regarded as a mental disorder – even a hint of same-sex reaction inspires loathing and disgust.

Formulaic and totally lacking in surprises, if you've seen any zombie movie from the past 5 years, then you've pretty much already seen What We Become.
