Carol (2015)

1 stupidity

★★★★☆

Starring: Cate Blanchett, Sarah Paulson, Kyle Chandler, Rooney Mara, Cory Michael Smith

Stupidity: Carol attempting to shoot the tape recorder was incredibly stupid. If the gun was loaded, it would've ended up much worse for her. Everyone in the motel would've heard. She would've been arrested, possibly jailed, and she would've had to explain why she shot it.

Questions

Question: SPOILERS: How on earth did Harge find out where Carol was on her trip in order for him to set a private detective on her trail that fast? She didn't tell him where she was going, and Abby certainly didn't. And not eight hours after Carol and Therese make love, Harge has sent a telegram to Carol in her motel room about it. How exactly was the detective *that* efficient?

Answer: The detective has likely been on Carol's tail following her for some time, not just recently.
