Every shot of the this film is captivating. The on screen chemistry between Blanchett and Mara is palpable. A realistic love story for LGBT women from a time when it was forbidden. Love, loss, the stress of societal pressures, this film deftly handles each issue beautifully. I watched it on a whim, but then found myself unable to look away. Shot for shot, each seen left me breathless and intrigued. Truly one of the most beautiful films I've ever seen.
