    It's one of the most enthusiastic reviews that I've read from him and definitely not the critical consensus. I wouldn't exactly call it obvious.

    I honestly can't remember much about 2/3 of the James Gray pictures that I've seen prior to this one. Most of you guys seem to have a higher opinion of him than I do.

    Carol was a decent character study-- reminiscent of The Hours and Haynes' own Far From Heaven. In fact, given the source material's reputation as a literary landmark for the genre, the film reminded me of Revolutionary Road, in a way. Both films are adaptations of groundbreaking stories, if limited by their own status. Strong acting, a bit Oscar baity.

    edit: am interested about the raves on this? It's nowhere near Safe or FFH imo

    For @Rowjay Stan

      Mother and Son 1997
      ★★★★★ Watched 23 Nov, 2015

      Published at Aesthetics of the Mind:
      bit.ly/1kSaC3a

      A veil upon which reality is traced, augmented, and distorted just such that the uncanny is revealed, penetrating pyschological depth. Sokurov's iridescent cinematography as usual brings life to nature, rendering striking three dimensionality while conveying the mystic phenomenon of object breathing. Colour coursing and vignetting paired with natural phenomena: the mother and sons breath, the wind, the sunlight. A haunting portrayal of tenderness and grief, only slighted by its own intensity and psycho-sexual discomfort.

      95/100 - Amazing.

    THE EVENING SACRIFICE (Sokurov, 1987)
    Smoking shotgun shells like spiritual incense to a perverse modernity: war our elegy and violence our prayer.

    82/100

      Empire 1987
      ★★★½ Watched 19 Nov, 2015

      A haunting though befuddled sepia-toned short with Hitchcock-like motif, if only it end as mysteriously as it begin.

      78/100 - Very Good.

      Earth 1930
      ★★★★★ Watched 24 Nov, 2015

      Propaganda or subversion thereof, a charged and poetic ambiguation of changing society: rise of bolshevism & science, lament of tradition & religion.

      93/100 - Amazing.
