I’m surprised that this Mike Leigh directed film depicting the life of English painter J.M.W. Turner (1775-1851) played by Timothy Spall hasn’t (a) been mentioned yet on this forum and (b) didn’t win an Oscar. It is a work of art, beautifully filmed with wonderful acting and witty repartee. The gooseberry scene is exquisitely funny. My only criticism of the film is that there should have been more witty repartee like the gooseberry scene.
Spoiler: viewers expecting lots of action scenes will be disappointed.
