Chris Pine is so good that he makes the film worth seeing. I just wish the ride was a bit smoother overall. Go to Full Review Johnny Oleksinski New York Post 5d
1/4
One of those tundra, dimly lit living-room movies that snobs defend as closer to “real life.” Real life isn’t romantic. Real life isn’t exciting. Real life isn’t witty. Real life isn’t colorful. Real life doesn’t get better. And on and on. Go to Full Review Benjamin Lee Guardian 6d
2/5
The world is not kind to films like Carousel at this very moment and while I would love to see this particular subgenre flourish in the way it used to back in the 90s and 00s, it’s hard to muster up much in the way of strong feelings here. Go to Full Review Reuben Baron Looper.com 4h

Carousel felt like it was missing something that could have made its quiet slice-of-life scenes a real emotional experience. Go to Full Review Ema Sasic Next Best Picture 4h
6/10
When "Carousel" lets Pine and Slate take center stage, it’s a grounded and bittersweet romance about second chances and learning to give in to what’s in front of you. It’s all the extra elements that make this film a bit of a narrative mess. Go to Full Review Gregory Nussen Screen Rant 2d
8/10
Beautiful and gently stirring, Lambert's film works best on the backs of Pine and Slate's performances, both of which rank amongst the best of each actor's respective careers. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
