Mr Turner (12a)

12A
Dir: Mike Leigh 2014

Timothy Spall stars as British artist JMW Turner in the last quarter century of his life.

The eccentric painter is profoundly affected by the death of his father, sexually exploits his housekeeper and eventually lives an incognito life with a seaside landlady. Throughout this, he travels, paints, stays with country aristocracy, visits brothels and is a popular if anarchic member of the Royal Academy of Arts.

WHY? 'A rambling, richly detailed character study with a magnificent central performance from Timothy Spall' ★★★★★ The Independent
★★★★★ The Times ★★★★★ Daily Mail ★★★★★ Empire
