This caper is relatively small in its ambitions, but it gets the overheated chemistry between the two leads right: It’s a near-perfect drive-in movie for a humid summer date night.

Rehmeier, though, cares about individuality, and he has a sense of humor. He doesn’t force chemistry, but he leaves lots of space for it.

Carolina Caroline is sweaty, steamy, and savory, a road trip whose end is known, but whose journey lights a fire.

3/4

It’s a lived-in, thrilling and above all romantic tale of two "Bonnie & Clyde"-style lovers of the run, with Kyle Gallner and Samara Weaving displaying on-screen chemistry that’s both electric and tender.

All Carolina Caroline has to offer is the feeling that, yes, we used to make movies like this in this country. But we used to make ’em better, too.

It was okay… a little too unbelievable and sort of predictable.

Really good film. Well acted and directed. Too bad the marketing is so bad for this film and it's not getting a wider release because a lot of people will miss it.

The chemistry between those two was incredible. It felt like watching a cool 70’s Bonnie and Clyde movie with muscle cars and great music all around. Loved it!
