elizabeta-75468 Carrington loved the homosexual not for his physical appearance but for his soul, his outlook on life, his comfort. He was like her resting place where all her stress disappeared. It was like forbidden love or taboo for them if they had sex. She did not want to disturb his lifestyle. She maintained her sexuality alive with other men who meant nothing to her but she let out her protective nature for her true love the homosexual.

Vultural ~ Biopic of Edwardian painter Carrington and her platonic relationship with author Lytton Strachey. Set mostly in pastoral England, during the Great War and afterward. Strachey and Carrington entice and embrace various male companions, seemingly to vent their own frustrated passions. Unlike almost every "creative artist" film I have ever watched, the angst and toil not shown at all. Emma Thompson, as Dora Carrington, is quite good in this. Also, during the first half of the film, she manages the trick of resembling a twenty year old. Sense And Sensibility was released the same year; while she portrayed another twenty year old, there she looked like a matronly forty year old. Jonathan Pryce as Strachey is brilliant.

khono This is an unusually honest film. It does not dwell on romantic idealisms, but instead depicts the ebb and flow to relationships and love. And the persistence of some. I never once found myself knowing what would happen next. The characters have great depth and come together to create an intellectually, as well as emotionally, stimulating film.I found the acting to be superb and, despite the distinct lack of action for much of the film, I never felt bored or like the movie was moving too slowly.The movie is perpetually visually stimulating without the kind of technological flare that most mainstream movies contain, nowadays. The landscapes, buildings, props; everything seemed to fit seamlessly and beautifully with such an organic livability that they give the movie a kind of realism so very precious and rare.The music, as can be expected from Michael Nyman, harmonizes with one's emotions, enhancing the entire movie beyond measure. Despite having listened to the soundtrack many times before seeing this movie and listening to the ending credit music several times in a row now, I never grow weary of the music. On the contrary, my love for it matures and I can think of nothing more beautiful as I listen.This is a must see movie for anyone with patience and an open mind.

havelland The words I write will not fully express how this movie made me feel. But I will do my best. This movie made me love Emma Thompson as an actress even more than before. Anyone with eyes cannot deny her talent but this just confirmed how awesome she is at her craft. I am surprised she was not recognized (BAFTA) for her efforts in this film. I don't want to write any spoilers but I would suggest one see this movie if they want the feeling of staring out the window on a rainy day wrapped up in a warm blanket thinking about the elation of finding love, confusion as it is revealed to be unrequited love and their demise from it! That sounds morbid but I would agree with the other review that the film is beautifully made.
