Review by Richard Armstrong on 14th March 2001

Rather than parade a potpourri of Bloomsbury notables, Hampton has decided to simply chart the tangled affair between artist and liberated woman, Dora Carrington, and eminent Edwardian, Lytton Strachey. Indeed, there is a slightly elliptical quality about the whole production, looks and glances being emphasized as much as the dialogue in his script. It is as though this English heritage film, with its sexual repression, country houses and country clothes, was feeling its way ever so reservedly towards the thunderous refinements of The Piano. Michael Nymans score helps it along.
