Mr. Turner (2014)
Directed by Mike Leigh
this film based on real events stars Timothy Spall, Dorothy Atkinson,
Marion Bailey and Paul Jesson. We follow the life of eccentric
painter Joseph Mallord William Turner.
Taking various scenes
from the life of Turner this film is more of an impression of a man's
life rather than a strict biopic. While I enjoyed the film I am not
sure it is fully accurate and I am not sure it ever truly enlightened
me on it's subject. Clearly the best part of the film is Spall's
performance as he grunts and grimaces his way through the film.
3/5
