“Carolina Caroline is a pleasant surprise, filled with heists, car chases, and heart… The film will make you laugh, cry, and revel in the chaos of its wild ride. This crime thriller romance hooks viewers with its action-packed crime spree promises, but what keeps the audience hooked is the unexpected. This film is filled with moments that are just as heartwarming as they are heartbreaking… The story opens with Oliver conning a small town gas station clerk, while employee Caroline oversees the whole thing… Her curiosity draws her to Oliver, and soon, into his lifestyle. The two fall in love with each other, and with the rush of chasing more and more money. They decide to travel across the U.S.A., hoping that along the way Caroline can reconnect with her long-lost mother and steal everything they can. But as their petty crimes level up to bank heists, the stakes rise, and they realize they may not have been as prepared as they thought they were… Even in all the mess, there’s a sweetness to the way they find comfort in each other, those heartwarming moments hitting just as hard as the action.” —Hannah Cronk, Film Threat
