Carolina

Carolina (2003) is a US romantic comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Carolina Mirabeau grew up with a grandmother who treats everyday life as performance — Shirley MacLaine at her most eccentric — and a father (Randy Quaid) who never quite got around to being a grown-up. She spent years building a calm, orderly life in spite of them.

Julia Stiles plays Carolina with the resigned competence of someone who has been the sensible person in the room since childhood. Alessandro Nivola is the complication she did not see coming. Director Marleen Gorris — whose Antonia's Line took the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film — brings an outsider's dry eye to the American family comedy. Watch Carolina (2003) online on iFILM.
