“Mike Leighu0026#39;s u0026quot;Mr Turneru0026quot;, a 2 1/2 hour movie had me so fascinated that it flew by. As an enraptured audience member I felt like a fly on the wall to witness Mr. Turneru0026#39;s life and creations of art that were depicted with such extraordinary realism. I felt on a gut level how this manu0026#39;s wonderful art was inspired by his feelings and the world surrounding him. There were so many wonderfully chosen moments and the scenery was so detailed and – thank God- lacking any Hollywood glamour. The characters were extremely well researched and portrayed to such a degree that I had the feeling I got to live in 1850u0026#39;s England for the 2 1/2 hours. There was not one moment of u0026quot;actingu0026#39; in this movie. How refreshing and inspiring! Timothy Spallu0026#39;s portrayal of Mr Turner was amazing in its detail – He inhabited the role 100 %. He embodied the painter to the last brush stroke. Equally wonderful were the women and everybody else in this brilliantly crafted movie. I shall see it again in case I have missed any detail.”
