"Carol": A Gorgeous LGBTQ+ Romance
The 1950s lesbian romance is stunning, emotional, restrained, and, simply put, one of the best movies I’ve ever seen depicting a woman-loving-woman (WLW) relationship.
Juliette
As a child, she lives happily ever after as a goose-herder girl, although her dreams are already foreshadowing her sad fate. She spends her adolescent years with nuns, who discipline her harshly, leaving deep, unhealed scars on her soul. Her true, great, one and only love seems to be fulfilled, but he wants to leave her. She won't let him, she's embracing his love, all of it. They lock her up in a madhouse. That's where the therapist will find it. The relationship between the two of them, the evocation of each other's personalities, is the theme of the film, which raises the question: which of them is the patient?

Game of Thrones Retrospective: No One Wants to Sit on the Throne Anymore
It took writers D.B Weiss and David Benioff two years to give us a promising final season. Two. Years. It was just going to be six episodes, which was short considering that all the other seasons — except season 7 — were 10 episodes. 10. 6 wasn’t enough, and even HBO wanted to give the writers more episodes. More seasons, even. However, the writers wanted to get out of the show as quickly as possible to work on other projects. This abruptness is clearly shown in this season.
