Top 10 best movies 2015 (20 movies items)" Notes: I really loved the damned thing and it was pretty much one of the best love stories I have ever seen. First of all, the whole thing looked gorgeous and I wonder if Todd Haynes had been inspired by Edward Hopper's paintings since this movie reminded me of his work. Anyway, even though I admired the (few) movies I had seen so far directed by Haynes, it was the first time that he impressed me so much.

Nick's Top 100 Films (100 movies items)""In Todd Haynes’ unspeakably beautiful adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's semi-autobiographical novel about a 1950s Manhattan shopgirl (Rooney Mara) who is thunderstruck by a mutual infatuation with a well-to-do housewife (Cate Blanchett), the film illustrates—among other things—how falling in love is an act of looking, while being in love is an act of seeing" - David Ehrlich"

The Good & The Bad - Movies Watched In 2017 (472 movies items)"This is a great love and life story about one woman fighting for her right to be happy and another trying to figure out how can she really be happy.
