Emma Thompson, Jeremy Northam, Jonathan Pryce

Painter Dora Carrington caught the fancy of Lytton Strachey, the well known London literary critic and biographer, the first time he saw her. There was one snag: the homosexual writer thought she was ...( read more  read more... )a boy.

    Not interested in seeing this.

    The acting is very good, the story is interesting mostly, but it just isn't captivating. An insite into the lives of some of the British upper class during the first world war and into the sexual revolution that followed the end of the Victorian age. Well done, but not compelling.

    pretty sure I liked this when I saw it a few years ago.

    Relentlessly bleak- people who spend so much time wallowing in their own preciousness and oddness that you just pray for it to conclude.
