Added DiffLines:
* AgeGapRomance: Therese is indicated to be much younger than Carol; in real life Creator/RooneyMara is sixteen years younger than Creator/CateBlanchett (Mara was 29 and Blanchett was 45 when they filmed the movie). Therese is quite unworldly, has never had a serious relationship (she has a boyfriend but doesn't seem overly besotted with him) and is still figuring out what she wants to do with her life, while Carol is more experienced and mature, is currently getting divorced and has a young child. Despite this they fall head over heels and the main obstacle to their relationship is actually the fact they're both women and it's the 1950s; Carol in particular is concerned she could lose custody of her daughter because of her relationship with Therese.
