12) Carol (2015)

Todd Haynes' Carol narrates the tale of a young woman Therese (Rooney Mara) who tumbles with a woman named Carol (Cate Blanchett). The 1950s present an interpretive frame in which love for one of the same s*x takes place against societal dictates in a time when that embrace was unpopular. The advantage has been summed up in a very palpable chemistry between both actresses as they try to navigate their love against the backdrop of societal judgment mingled with a very personal and recursive discovery of themselves.
