Carol

Watch online Carol (2015), Todd Haynes's romantic drama, streaming on iFILM. A story of forbidden love set in early-1950s New York.

Therese, a young department-store clerk, dreams of becoming a photographer and of a fuller life. One day, across the counter, she meets Carol, an elegant married woman older than her and caught in a painful divorce. What grows between them is dangerous by the standards of the time. Rooney Mara plays the shy Therese, Cate Blanchett the guarded, weary Carol. The film is based on Patricia Highsmith's novel "The Price of Salt."

Haynes built it as a quiet, sensual drama of glances, pauses, and things left unsaid. Cinematographer Edward Lachman shot on 16mm, and the grain makes the era feel almost touchable. The film drew six Academy Award nominations. Stream Carol on iFILM for a restrained and strikingly beautiful love story.
