Laikals The greatest movie ever made..!

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

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.

ddlacree-991-615259 What makes this tale pathetic and even horrifying is that it is true. If the characters central to this saga truly lived their lives in such wretched repression, compulsion, pretension, evasion, subterfuge, denial, longing, jealousy, confusion, suppression, depression, altruism, platonic hypocrisy and lack of courage - then God help them! If their entrapment was a reflection of the age they lived in, then they acquiesced to societal norms and were not the creative, artistic free spirits they pretended or aspired to be. If their ennui was a result of their own inability to live in truth, then their pose was a pretense. There is nothing to admire in this story. Carrington was a coward, Lytton a poseur, and their circle a bunch on namby pamby weaklings. To suicide for a love that never satisfied is the ultimate statement of low self-esteem.If you are a depressive, you may enjoy this movie. Those who live in joy may do better to skip it. Not just skip it, but run, screaming, very fast, in the opposite direction.

loydmooney-1 Very few films send me here curious for reactions. This one did simply because I was wondering if anyone else had the feeling that the main male role was so noisome that how could anybody but a nut find him lovable. Well, that was not the case: most if not all accepted her love for him as something totally understandable. The guy was a jerk. Period. And ugly both inside and out, as well as full of empty comments on the ongoing scene and human dilemma. I kept watching only because of the remarkable performance by Thomson in the, and I do mean THE greatest masochist of all time. And some nice pictorals. That crazy house they lived in was really something. All said, purely my reaction: the guy was just too damned ugly, too not there for anybody with half a brain to want to hang around him long, much less half her life unless she was seriously stupid and sick.
