A film truly deserving of all the praise and recognition it has received. Tormenting, uncomfortable, sad, haunting and beautiful. Ms. Blanchett is still at the top of her game, and beautifully directed by Todd Haynes. Rooney Mara is also fabulous in this. A must see!

Rooney Mara in my opinion hurts this movie with her wooden acting and her inability to find any chemistry with the always enchanting and enigmatic Cate Blanchett. If you are a Cate Blanchet fan I would encourage you to see it but if you're looking for a lesbian love story it falls flat! This is not your Brokeback Mountain!

This is yet another sign of the times we are living in where good is evil, and evil is good. The only good thing about this movie is it came to an end, and if so many people liked this;then I know that Yeshuha is returning soon! Thankyou Yahuah♡
