Carrington

**½
Director: Christopher Hampton
Cast: Emma Thompson, Jonathan Pryce, Steven Waddington, Rufus Sewell

Dora Carrington is a sexually ambiguous painter, and Lytton Strachey is a gay author. This is the story of theit unusual friendship from 1915 to 1932. In theory this real-life British film is well written and well acted. In practice, unfortunately, it's a heavy-going and pointless drama. Based on Michael Holroyd's biographies.
