Mr Turner (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

Avalon Edinburgh Preview - Iain Stirling and Jack Barry
Avalon are the UK's leading comedy agent - they bring two top comedians previewing their material ahead of the Edinburgh Festival this summer.
Iain Stirling is a BAFTA nominated presenter and Chortle nominated comedian. He has appeared on BBC3's Russell Howard's Good News and supported Russell Kane on tour.
Consistently a sell out at the Edinburgh Fringe, Iain previews some brand new material in preparation for his next hotly anticipated solo show.
'One of the best joke writers on the circuit' GQ
'Hugely talented rising star' Time Out
'Possesses all the born-with-it-or-you’re-not-qualities associated with the world’s leading comics' ★★★★ The List
Jack Barry is probably the only stand up on the circuit with a degree in Chinese. What a waste.
He’s supported James Acaster on the UK tours of Edinburgh Award nominated shows Prompt and Lawnmower. He has been a regular at the Edinburgh Festival since first appearing with critically acclaimed student sketch group The Leeds Tealights. Don’t miss your chance to see Jack try out new material for his Edinburgh show.
'An inventive flourish behind his likeable banter… a distinctive wit that should make him one to watch' Steve Bennett, Chortle
'I predict that Barry will be one to look out for in the future' Broadway Baby
