Carol (2015)

Carol (Netflix) is a 2015 romantic period drama based on the 1952 romance novel The Price of Salt by Patricia Highsmith. Set in New York City during the early 1950s, Carol tells the story of a budding relationship between an aspiring female photographer and an older woman going through a difficult divorce. It has received over 290 industry and critic nominations, and over 100 awards and honours. I don't know how I missed it until now and am happy to have remedied that loss. I say that as someone who avoids romance films like the plague. Even if you don't favor -or even if you particularly despise- a particular genre, there will always be a few movies that you'll like if you are willing to give them a chance. The movie begins during the Christmas holiday season.

More little trees. The cloth one on the left was made by Mother one year when we gave these as Christmas presents. The metal one in the back was a gift from The Daughter. The tree on the right came from Target.
