Our take

At a time when women’s reproductive rights are under threat, Carol screenwriter Phyllis Nagy celebrates the solidarity of grassroots activism. Starring Elizabeth Banks & Sigourney Weaver, this rousing drama reveals the fight for abortions in ’60s America via the emancipation of a suburban housewife.
