There's no question about it: Cate Blanchett made the best Christmas movie of the last 10 years. The film isn't a rom-com, but it's a modern classic.

Cate Blanchett's film Carol is considered the best Christmas movie of the last decade due to its elegant and restrained portrayal of a forbidden love story during the holiday season.
The film centers around the blossoming love affair between department-store clerk Therese and the glamorous Carol, and is set in the 1950s — a time when attitudes towards queer individuals were dangerous.
Carol's atmosphere, taking place in 1950s New York City at Christmastime, taps into a nostalgic fantasy — one that captures the essence of the holidays. This makes it a unique and poignant Christmas movie.
