	DVD Verdict Review - Carrington
		Strachey is a homosexual, a cynic, and passive (he goes out of his way to announce his contientious objection to the impending war).
		Strachey always has a quip ready, but we sense that behind the light in his eyes is a sense of desparation: a man who does not want to be alone in a world that shuns both his desires and his critical eye.
		Indeed, Pryce's performance as Strachey does steal plenty of scenes away from Thompson, but this does not diminish her skills here: Strachey is simply a more colorful character.
