- JesseWelshNovember 30, 2025A movie lots of people would have mixed emotions about. Could be simple, or complex. Either way it’s a very good movie. Had me to the end of credits. Was Carol really mentally disabled?

- jorge-adsMarch 23, 2026Wonderful story and movie. Billy Bob Thornton was excellent
- Master MaverickOctober 26, 2025What I appreciated about this movie mostly was the acting. The story itself lacked in many things. But what it did not lack in was I would say realism. That is what I think made this movie a good movie. Credits to all the actors, but mostly Billy Bob Thornton for pulling off the character known as Carl. I am 100% believed he was Carl.
