Translated from swedish: With saturated colors, well-composed cinematography and a confident blend of close-ups and subtle points of view, "Carol" is this year's most beautiful film. The visual language is hypnotic and reaches its peak during a dreamlike car scene; thirty seconds of pure movie magic.

Translated from swedish: "Carol" is cryptic, elegant and intelligent, autonomous and artistically authoritative, tremendously well-crafted, darkly beautiful, sensually suggestive and hard-hitting. It's a film where gazes meet, where pain becomes something beautiful, and where boundless love is portrayed in its radiant truth.

Translated from swedish: "Carol" is a film about forbidden love where the couple is forced to hide and sneak around with their feelings. These restrained emotions make the movie practically explode when the final scene's gazes are captured by the camera.

Translated from swedish: This is an incredibly beautiful film that evokes deep emotions through subtle means. It consistently focuses on both women's perspectives – their liberation, their love. Lesbian love is rarely portrayed in major Hollywood films, but here it's done really well.
- Cecilia Alstermark

Translated from swedish: The film never becomes controversial for controversy's sake, but instead has a captivating story with great performances (I wouldn't be surprised if both Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara receive Oscar nominations for Best Actress), beautiful cinematography and 1950s settings to lose yourself in.
- Jonatan Södergren

Translated from swedish: I actually love "Carol". I love that Cate Blanchett has gorgeous furs, expensive driving gloves and that the props are lavish. I love that the gazes are given space, gazes that mark a distance, but also a longing and a direction. And I love that it's the butterflies in your stomach that ultimately dismiss all objections.

Translated from swedish: Frost easily forms around a melodrama without grand tears, tragedies, and technicolor. Regardless of how skillfully the surface is scraped.
