RottenTomatoes Score: 95% (8.6/10) Box Office: Todd Haynes' drama cost $11.8 million and has made $588,355 to date from just four cinemas. Much like The Danish Girl, the platform release pattern will ensure it's successful in the long run, combined with immense awards buzz moving forward. Verdict: Haynes returns with his first film since 2007's I'm Not There, and it's racking up considerable awards buzz for Best Picture, Best Director and respective Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress nods for Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara. An exquisite period pic about a young shopgirl and the older woman she falls in love with, Haynes has a firm handle on a sense of time and place, cementing the underlying discriminatory nature of 1950s New York, while Blanchett and Mara do some of their best work as lovers determined to triumph amid considerable adversity.
Stay at home dad who spends as much time teaching his kids the merits of Martin Scorsese as possible (against the missus' wishes).
