Mr. Turner

...the director’s most visually ravishing movie. With cinematographer Dick Pope behind the lens, every shot is gorgeous enough to hang in a museum...

...it's slow and grim and deliberately hard to love, yet it's fascinating, and the performances and photography are outstanding.

...richly and intensely enjoyable study of the great artist’s final years.

...a study of the closing 25 years of the famed 19th-century painter’s life at once epic in scope and intimate in detail, a film wonderfully, bewilderingly, and heart-stirringly alive.

Bister blick på skönheten. Mike Leigh gör komplext porträtt av ­älskad landskapsmålare.

Det er et bemærkelsesværdigt portræt som støttes fornemt af Leighs eget manuskript, der med veldoseret humor på tværs af to en halv time fører os tættere og tættere på titelpersonen.
