Summary: What is love?
Review: This movie will force you to ask yourself the difficult question, "Have I ever really known love?", and cause you to long for a friendship that will endure the span of your own lifetime.

This movie is a romance, but there are no wooing words of passion between the two main characters. This movie is a bodice ripping hot bed of passion, but the two main characters never have sex with each other.

Do we choose the people that we will love, or are they prechosen for us? Whatever you feel or think about this movie, trust me, it won't be a lukewarm opinion. It was well worth the money spent for this DVD.

If you liked this one, I would also highly recommend, "Henry and June" with Fred Ward & Uma Thurman, "Delta of Venus" with Costas Mandylor, "Red Shoe Diaries - The Movie" with David Duchovny & Billy Worth and "Nora" with Ewan McGregor & Susan Lynch.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: A great telling of a true story.
Review: Though long and sometimes dry, both Thompson's and Pryce's performances are what make this movie a definite must-see.

It is also notable that this movie brings into both questions of gender identity and sexual non-conformity in the ealy part of this century. Carrington (Thompson) is portrayed as a male-identified woman (possible FtM?) with whom Strachey (Pryce) falls in love with, even though he's a homosexual.

Excellent, EXCELLENT story of two artists' lives that neede to be told.
