| Turner on Varnishing Day, William Parrott |
Timothy Spall gives a terrific performance as Mr Turner and it all looks simply wonderful, as you'd expect, but, oh dear, what a very long film - I could have done with 30 minutes less - and I'm afraid I nodded off for a few minutes during dinner with the Ruskins.
Can't remember the last time, though, that I went to the cinema and it was completely sold out.

I couldn't quite decide whether I liked the film or not. Brilliant performance from Timothy Spall and it kept me entertained but Turner was such an obnoxious character it did rather put me off.
Gina and I feel the same about this film, excellent acting though.
He was great, wasn't he? But I'm not sure it works as a film ... a bit plodding? It didn't tell me anything about Turner that I didn't know already, which is probably why I was flagging.
