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 3d
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 4d
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 Gregory Nussen Screen Rant 17h
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 Abe Friedtanzer Awards Buzz 3d
7/10
Lambert offers an insightful character exploration that speaks volumes about relationships, what people don’t say, and what happens when they finally do decide to talk. Go to Full Review Ross Bonaime Collider 4d
7/10
Thanks to two engaging performances by Chris Pine and Jenny Slate, and Lambert’s penchant for moments we rarely see captured on screen, Carousel is a surprising and charming take on the romance film. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
