I went in blind, didn't know anything about Carol, but it seemed well rated on mubi, wasn't watching it as a lesbian flick, was watching as a crimble film,so I'm guessing that , by it's title, Summertime wouldn't have worked.
Got you. I remember being peeved at the time by how over-rated I felt Carol was, but agree it nails a Christmas aesthetic and is beautifully, gorgeously shot. Merry Christmas viewing!
