Carousel — Sundance Review

Rachel Lambert’s Carousel is the kind of gentle, slice-of-life independent film that feels right at home at the Sundance Film Festival. It showcases several strong, understated performances that feel authentic and lived-in, even as the story traces familiar narrative ground. In fact, Carousel almost feels too lived-in to the extent that the characters’ lives lack urgency, and the story unfolds at an almost glacial pace.
