Beoordelingen en reviews

A great performance from the lead actor. The film is let down by unclear relationships and messy introductions of characters plus a lack of informative subtitles e.g Royal Academy of Art plus Year. But those audience members who already know about Mr Turner's life and work this film is a great treat. But then again Mr Turner was known for mumbling.

Mr Turner... your paintings are a delight to the eye, and sweet music to the mind... Timothy Spall captured all the nuances of his colourful palette in his acting. It is a movie flowing at the speed of a winding river but the varnishing put on by the actors is worth a toast.

...Made worse by glowing reviews that drove me to see it. Totally unlikable protagonist and no story arc to speak of. Boring, dull, drivel; don't risk it.
