Mr. Turner, 2014 - ★★★


Another highly lauded film with a great central performance where I found myself wondering what all the fuss was about. There are many spectacular and beautiful moments but the film feels more like a collection of sketches than a full blown masterpiece. It's too long (I found that I'd lost interest after 90 minutes even though many of the better moments are in the last hour) and many of the supporting characters such as the Mrs Doyle/Overall housekeeper just feel out of place and are distracting.


As expected Timothy Spall is fantastic but even all his grunting becomes tiresome before the end.
