Carol

This movie does not disappoint!! The musical numbers connect with the story in such a meaningful way! The message of hope and redemption is woven through the script with purpose and uplifting promise. Aaron Fullan as Solomon Lynch is outstanding, using comedy to play a man in his lowest darkest time of life. Colleen Amaya is breathtaking in this movie literally placing her soul on a platter in one of the duets. You need a box of tissues for this movie, though the laughter between the tears is a wonderful mix. I experienced an emotional roller coaster and at moments the cinematic beauty was just amazing. There is a palpable love of the cast for each other as you watch the relationships build between the characters in every scene. This chemistry can only be accomplished when the actors are able to be completely vulnerable in the space they are working!! This is a movie. We will watch every year with our family as a Christmas tradition. If you have not seen Carol you need to get to a theater to see this. It is worth the time to watch and then go back and watch it one more time!
