Genres & Description

Action Biography Drama History

6.8 / 10

Mr. Turner explores the last quarter century of the great if eccentric British painter J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851). Profoundly affected by the death of his father, loved by a housekeeper he takes for granted and occasionally exploits sexually, he forms a close relationship with a seaside landlady with whom he eventually lives incognito in Chelsea, where he dies. Throughout this, he travels, paints, stays with the country aristocracy, visits brothels, is a popular if anarchic member of the Royal Academy of Arts, has himself strapped to the mast of a ship so that he can paint a snowstorm, and is both celebrated and reviled by the public and by royalty.

Good film. I just wish they would make a film about Constable. A more introverted, darker and tragic character than Turner. Timothy Spall is such a great actor that he could play him too. Something for Mr.Leigh to think about? - @Monday, October 22, 2018 9:49 AM

I feel sorry for the Housekeeper Hannah Danby. An old woman like her having worked her entire life for that one family and now she will be unemployed. Probably without any savings she would become destitute. I was surprised that was Dorothy Atkinson playing her who is a somewhat attractive woman when she is not wearing the old lady, bad skin makeup and standing up straight. - @Wednesday, September 26, 2018 7:07 AM

It you're interested in learning about that century, then good film. If you're interested in learning about Turner, not so much. Other than the fact that he liked the occasional shag and liked to grunt a lot, we learn very little about his artistry, very little about his art. Shame. - @Wednesday, July 18, 2018 10:59 PM

Two of the greatest artists ever, both Turner and Spall in their respective fields. I love this movie! What is the music played in the first 20 seconds of the trailer please? - @Monday, July 2, 2018 11:36 PM

Splendid! To watch and watch again. Turner l'époustouflant peintre anglais, le véritable inventeur de l'impressionnisme, capable de faire exploser un train en marche. A voir et à revoir ! (Jean JANYN) - @Friday, May 26, 2017 11:41 AM

Another brilliant film from Mike Leigh. A beautiful exploration of the contradiction of the external presentation and inner subtleties of Turner the man, and his work. Timothy Spall gives a splendid moving performance as per usual - @Sunday, January 22, 2017 8:41 AM

Didn't really like this film because it presented Turner as a vile and horrible man. Not sure if he was, but don't think he was that bad. - @Tuesday, December 27, 2016 4:54 PM

The only part of this film that I enjoyed was the raw, animalistic sex scene featuring Mr.Turner and his maid. The grunting perfectly timed to match the thrusting made me so thankful that I watched this film with my 12 year old brother. It was truly magnificent. - @Monday, December 26, 2016 1:48 PM

One of the great things about this film is that all of the imagery in the work feels like a painting Turner would have actually created. - @Wednesday, October 19, 2016 4:24 PM

timothy spall is one of the greatest actors of his generation....much like Philip Seymour Hoffman...RIP...and has an amazing range....alas these thespians are so underrated and reduced to pointless supporting characters when they are perfectly capable of carrying a movie solely upon their able shoulders and render a masterpiece... - @Tuesday, July 19, 2016 8:45 PM

I just done watching it and I really have no idea why this movie listed as one of the best 2014 movies ! actually I deleted from my PC immediately, regardless the acting the Turenr character is 100% pig: he speaks from his throat not his mouth and mumble too much also he has sex just like pig! I really hate that, movie is full of depression and sickness specially that creepy servant. - @Saturday, December 5, 2015 11:27 PM

I just watched those 2 1/2 hours of complete boredom. I do like art, but this movie is not half as capturing as the trailer is., and the acting is mediocre. - @Friday, October 23, 2015 7:16 PM

Mike Leigh is a genius. Each movie of his which I had pleasure to watch left me speechless. This movie is no difference. - @Monday, September 28, 2015 10:47 AM

is it just me, or does it look like all that Wormtail does here is grunt through the entire movie? and seems just boring in general? - @Tuesday, August 25, 2015 4:24 AM

I'm so happy to see Timothy Spall in a challenging roll and I have to say he dominated the roll of J.M.W. Turner. This movie is wonderful and is paired with a soundtrack that dances hand in hand. Good form Mr. Spall....good form sir. - @Saturday, May 23, 2015 12:57 PM
