Mrs Lowry & Son (2019)

Mrs Lowry u0026 Son: Directed by Adrian Noble. With Vanessa Redgrave, Timothy Spall, Wendy Morgan, Stephen Lord. A portrait of the artist L.S. Lowry and the relationship with his mother, who tries to dissuade him from pursuing his passion.

“This is a mesmerizingly slow film set almost entirely in one room….. it could almost be a play. However Adrian Noble thankfully focuses on the two main actors and we are gradually sucked in to their closed little world. Both Spall and Redgrave give towering complementary performances which keep the audience completely entranced from the beginning. Redgrave especially manages to create a relentlessly critical and bitter character without the viewer ever hating her for it.. and Spall has grown into a confident and creative character actor of the highest order. Beautiful cinematography and set design make this film artistically watchable. If you like slow burning drama then this is a treat.”
