What To Watch This Week - 23rd November
This week's 'What To Watch' is a pretty tough one. Usually, upon compiling the list of films you have to see this week, the quality of films coming out makes it difficult to only pick five... however this week, it was considerably more difficult to choose, with absolute classics being released like the Turkish made 'Ali Baba and the 7 Dwarves' and 'Unbranded' - a story about riding across America on horseback.

Carol (Todd Haynes) - Drama | Romance
An all-star cast including Cate Blanchett, Rooney Mara and Kyle Chandler head up a story of a 1950s department-store clerk who falls in love with an older married woman who's in a loveless marriage. The story is all about defying social norms of the time - female empowerment and homosexual relationships are the forefront of a film. Although it will be categorised as a LGBT film, the focus is more about the human connection between two people who fall in love with each other. Lovely.
