	Carrington (1995)
		Eventually Carrington is manipulated into marrying one of her conquests, Rex Partridge (Steven Waddington), under the threat of losing Pryce - just one example of her self-sacrifices for the, now famous, writer.
		In the end though Carrington cannot really give her love to Ralph, having been spiritually betrothed to Pryce all of the time, and he is compelled make other arrangements - but not before he introduces his eternal friend (from their time in the trenches) Gerald Brenan (Samual West).
		The tale of Carrington's life is rather fascinating though, considering how much she gave up to be (in effect) the servant of Pryce.

		A woman's place in most science-fiction films is to scream and be carried off by the monster, yet women occupy a great deal of this film's running time; not as characters themselves but as the focal point of other's conversations.
		Throughout the duration of the film, it is made more and more apparent the danger that the alien/creature/carrot poses, yet Carrington, despite becoming fully aware of the alien's homicidal tendencies, remains intent on saving it and learning from it.

	Cinema Stardust: SIDEBAR, Who was Carrington?
		But, as Virginia Woolf foretold, Carrington’s marriage was riskier than most, the boundaries of the menage shifted, like ice floes, to accommodate lovers who came and went, but the pivotal focus of Carrington’s life remained her all-abiding passion for Lytton.
		Carrington told Brenan that she was in love with the romantic life of Shelley.
		The art of casting CARRINGTON was to capture the essence of the people in Dora’s world: as the painter herself took liberties, transforming the spirit of her subjects from one artist’s medium to the next, so the film makers were able to take theirs.

	Carrington . Tucson Weekly . 12-21-95
		Carrington and Strachey are interesting for many reasons, including their talent and intelligence, but the film seems primarily concerned with cataloguing their bedroom ventures.
		There are no neighbors peering over the fence; Carrington's mom isn't bugging her about why she doesn't have children--in short, the revolutionary spirit of rebellion that was supposed to have characterized these people's lives is missing because there's nothing here to rebel against.
		Emma Thompson rolls through this film with the same bovine calm she brings to all her roles, but the real gem of a performance here is by Jonathan Pryce.

	Carrington
		Carrington is the story of the platonic love affair between the writer Lytton Strachey and artist Dora Carrington.
		I first saw this film on a plane going to London — it was Virgin Atlantic where the tiny screen is in the seat in front of you, so I couldn’t get the full effect of the film.
		His righteous indignation over Carrington’s repeatedly putting him off was played with the proper amount of restraint — you could literally see him seething — but he refrained from pushing it over the top, which I believe a lesser actor would have easily done with this character.

	Cinema Stardust: Carrington directed by Christopher Hampton
		Carrington tells the story of people who tried, in their own way, and at a time when society did not encourage such experiments, to acknowledge openly what most of us are aware of but still reluctant to discuss: that a great many differences exist between love and desire.
		As Carrington points out in the film, with Lytton she was able to be herself in all her confusion and joy, and without the obligatory pressures of regular sexual performance was able to find in Lytton the only person she ever really felt emotionally comfortable with.
		Because Carrington is intelligently written, directed, and acted, however, we do not see the behavior of each of them as simply willful and spoiled, but as part of the contradictions they need to stay individuals in a culture, and at a time, where the conventional notions of love and sex were strictly regimented.

	Review by Kate MacDonald
		Carrington was a complex and fascinating character, but no film could hope to deal with the wealth of questions her life raises.
		Carrington conducted various affairs with other men and women throughout her life, but only four are mentioned in the film.
		Carrington's decision to kill herself when she realises there is no hope left for Lytton is not a gesture of defeat, but is rather a final act of love.

	South from Grenada (Al Sur de Grenada)
		Brenan was one of the suitors of Dora Carrington, the lifelong (platonic) companion of author Lytton Strachey.
		Unlike Carrington, which I found boring as hell, this film was made as a lively comedy, and showed some of the lusty spirit that was central to the Bloomsbury group.
		Films rated below five are generally awful even if you like that kind of film - this score is roughly equivalent to one and a half stars from the critics or a D on our scale.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Carrington \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		But Strachey was a homosexual, and though the film suggests they cared deeply for each other, it was an unfulfilled relationship.
		Because Dora is the more repressed character, and because Thompson stresses her drab countenance, with her head frequently lowered, the film's attention repeatedly strays to Strachey.
		The supporting players are also quite good, though the film seems to become more about the lead characters' sexual peccadillos than the deeper aspects of their relationship.

		The first time Lytton Strachey saw Dora Carrington, he asked, "Who is that ravishing boy?" When he discovered she was a girl with a tomboy haircut, he was struck dumb; at their first meeting, conversation came to a complete stall, and in embarrassment he picked up a book and pretended to read.
		The opening scenes of "Carrington" try to explain the beginnings of one of the oddest romances of the Bloomsbury Group, that gathering of British geniuses, eccentrics and self-publicists that produced no romances that were not odd.
		In Christopher Hampton's film, Carrington (she hated the "Dora" and dropped it) visits Strachey's bedside with a scissors, to chop off his beard in retaliation for the kiss.

	Outpost #31 - Fan Essay - 1951/1982 Comparison
		The film obviously makes an attempt to depict a fight between the humans and the Arness Thing, but there is also a "subplot" involved where humans are contending with each other.
		Rather it is Carrington who is morally responsible for their demise, and the film has Hendry saying as much.
		Therefore, de-humanism and agnosticism are all-pervasive in the Carpenter film.

	The Colossus of New York
		Carrington claims that the mind must be connected to the body via the soul if it is not to become monstrous; Dr. Spensser dismisses him, announcing that in the brain alone is all human greatness.
		The film does not represent Carrington as making good his condescension: he escorts Anne and the family to the UN at the close, but fulfills no heroic role, allowed by the film merely to observe and hear Dr. Spensser's penance.
		The film's visuals (cinematography by John F. Warren, art direction by Hal Pereira and John Goodman) can be perfunctory, but are often attractive: one might mention the cunning use of diagonals (for instance, the ceiling beams over Kruger's asymmetrically placed head in his phone conversations), which energize the image and effect fluent movement between shots.

	Film Scouts Reviews: Carrington (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Carrington, as she preferred to be called, wasn't quite sure what to think of this frail older man with the unfashionable beard.
		With Carrington transforming their various homes into cozy, brightly painted love nests with all the decorative fervor of Martha Stewart their intense feelings for each other never wavered not even when their various lovers intruded on their lives.
		Even so CARRINGTON is surprisingly moving in its depiction of a man and a woman who defied all the acceptable rules of behavior, inventing their own form of unlicensed "marriage" as they went along.

	And You Call Yourself a Scientist! - The Thing (From Another World) (1951)
		Carrington’s first questionable act is to conceal from Hendry the fact that The Thing has been in the greenhouse, and that it has killed — and bled dry — one of the sled dogs.
		Rather, Carrington took the sensible step of posting guards, exactly as Hendry does; and as he subsequently points out (or tries to: his explanation is disregarded and talked over), he himself stood a watch, and could just as easily have been one of the victims.
		That Carrington, who throughout the opening section of the film refuses to answer questions that he cannot answer accurately, and who insists that he “dislikes being vague”, would suddenly commit himself to statements like these, in the absence of any firm evidence, is unlikely in the extreme.

	Amazon.co.uk: Carrington [1995] (REGION 1) (NTSC): DVD (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Strachey, Carrington, Woolf and most of the other characters in this 1995 film were members of the Bloomsbury Group, all of whom were eccentric British geniuses who explored the dynamics of human relationships in strange ways when they were not busy exorcising their artistic impulses.
		She is the film's title character, not only because she survives Lytton, but because after they met and became friends (pure understatement, I assure you) she continued to pursue other interests and people while he was remarkably contempt to enjoy those she brought into their small circle.
		Carrington is the one who actively engages in the acts of intimacy between them while we have to remind our selves that Lytton's passive acceptance of it is out of a sense of propriety and not a lack of deep feelings.

	Movie Review - Carrington - eFilmCritic
		Carrington comes across as flighty and confused, but we do not see how disturbed she is until after Strachey's death, and Hampton could have elaborated on that a little more.
		In one scene, Carrington sits on a stump and, through a giant bank of windows, watches her husband and his live in mistress, Carrington's own new lover, and Strachey and Roger, all getting ready for bed.
		Hampton keeps the scene sad without becoming voyeuristic, as Carrington seems to be silently questioning all these men who have brought her to this place in time.

	[No title]
		At one point in the film she is asked "Have you no self-esteem?" and her honest response is "No much." So, although she paints, she does it not because she thinks she's a great painter but only because she wants to.
		Carrington lived by that belief (though her husband Partridge had a hard time coming around to that view, especially when Carrington has an affair with his best friend Gerald Brenan).
		Most of what I know about Carrington came from Michael Holyrod's biography of Strachey, on which this film is largely based, but in that book, because it is a book about Lytton,it's hard to bring her into focus.

	[No title] (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Hampton attempts to solve this problem by dividing Carrington's life into chapters, six of them, each titled to designate a particular influence and time period, such as "Partridge 1918-1921" (the name of her husband, Ralph Partridge) or "Ham Spray House 1924-1931" (the name of one of her residences).
		As the film's focus, Carrington's "plural" nature is appropriately fascinating, especially to those characters surrounding her, who persistently try to "figure her out." She's introduced to us as she's first spotted by writer Lytton Strachey (Jonathan Pryce).
		As Carrington and Strachey's romance which is not a romance takes place during and after World War I, in and out of London, there are certain social pressures brought to bear.

	Hampton examines 'Agent'
		Hampton's previous film was "Carrington," a stunning debut and a masterpiece that was one of last year's best films.
		In addition, it was a film shot primarily on location and outdoors, unlike "The Secret Agent," which is heavily sound stage-based, and I asked Hampton about his preference between the two shooting methods.
		At the end of the film he talks about how, in the future, governments will exterminate the weak, obviously like the Nazis did, and he says, `I myself have no future, but I am a force.' I think that force is abroad today.

	9.15 - Carrington (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		It was an odd, awkward meeting; Strachey, seeing Carrington from afar, thought she was a young man and was literally speechless when he was formally introduced to her.
		The new movie, Carrington, by the screenwriter of Dangerous Liaisons, is a sad portrait of the artist who could find no adequate meaning for her life other than loving men, principally Strachey, who could not love her with the same intensity.
		It's unfortunate that the film cannot tell the whole story of Carrington's life within this framework because it omits Carrington's one love interest that surpassed those of the men who had pursued her.

		Though Dora, a heterosexual woman who didn't lose her virginity until she was in her twenties, and Strachey, an avowed homosexual, each had an assortment of male bed partners, they were intensely devoted to each other with a passion that was "all absorbing" and "self-abasing".
		Carrington is a special love story that challenges the intellect with as much vigor as it touches the heart.
		Carrington is divided into six chapters, most of are named after the men who float in and out of the title character's life.

		Unconditionally Carrington displays her devotion and respect for Lytton who is reciprocal in his loyalty to their relationship.
		However, the other men in Carrington's life are not as understanding as Lytton as they demand something in return for their love for Carrington.
		Carrington is a fabulous narrative of Dora Carrington's life as it displays her life along with her strengths, which offers a good cinematic experience.
