2. Carol (2015)
The movie Carol is not your average love story. It is a romance film that tells the story of a young woman in 1950s New York who falls for an older married woman.
This film is based on the novel, The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith. The movie follows the novel more closely than any other adaptation of it. The movie explores themes such as love, gender roles, and sexuality that are not always openly discussed in films.
