Mr. Turner Reviews
ReelViews
James Berardinelli
At 150 minutes, it's a little too long but there are stretches during its course when it captivates and amazes.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Mr. Turner is no barrel of laughs. It's a barrel of life - an extraordinary one.
Seattle Times
Moira MacDonald
You leave "Mr. Turner," as with all good fact-based films, wanting to know more about this man and his work - and remembering that beautiful, almost touchable light, on the canvas and on the screen.
Dallas Morning News
Chris Vognar
Mr. Turner, like just about all movies made by Mike Leigh, creates the sensation of being in a vividly realized mini-universe built from the ground up.
Newsday
Rafer Guzman
Mike Leigh's biopic is so richly detailed that it feels like a documentary. Spall goes for broke in the outsize title role.
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Joe Williams
For modern moviegoers, the earthy "Mr. Turner" may seem like slowly steeped tea with an unpleasant aftertaste. But while some are impatiently waiting for the paint to dry, astute viewers will see a cinematic landscape bloom.
Arizona Republic
Bill Goodykoontz
An inspired film, a beautiful exploration of art and creation and difficulty, with Spall's brilliant performance at its center.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
If the past is a foreign country, then "Mr. Turner" is one of the most rhapsodic foreign films you may ever see.
San Francisco Chronicle
Mick LaSalle
Failure isn't only the province of the lazy and uninspired. No, even the gifted and conscientious must occasionally take a stroll through that blasted landscape, and with Mr. Turner Leigh does it, for 2 1/2 hours. Don't go with him.
indieWire
Eric Kohn
Leigh's process once again yields a compassionate narrative in which subtle glances and asides tell the story as much as the plot itself.
Entertainment Weekly
Keith Staskiewicz
To use a word often associated with Turner and his art, it's sublime.
Austin Chronicle
Marjorie Baumgarten
There is little in the way of narrative eventfulness in the film, but Leigh luxuriates in the moments, and provides glimpses of what it takes to be an artist amid the fray.
HitFix
Guy Lodge
Leigh's world-building is immaculate: abetted by Suzy Davies' extraordinary production design, Mr. Turner subtly constructs environments that evoke what Turner sees, tonally and spatially, that those around him cannot.
Linoleum Knife
Alonso Duralde
Takes you on a bit of a meander, but you'll find by the end that you've arrived somewhere.
Chicago Reader
J. R. Jones
Timothy Spall gives an admirably warty and unpleasant performance as Turner, an arrogant and uncompromising man who's annoyed by his celebrity in Britain but shocked when the public turns against his work.
The Atlantic
Katie Kilkenny
A gorgeous, important film.
TIME Magazine
Richard Corliss
Epic in breadth and length (2 1/2 hours), and gorgeously photographed (digitally) by Bill Pope, Mr. Turner is intimate in incident.
TheWrap
Sasha Stone
As is usual with any Mike Leigh film -- a style unique and trademarked by now -- his ensemble is a collection of remarkably adept actors who know their characters so well they could stay in character for weeks, continually improvising, as they often do.
Observer
Rex Reed
A vacuous endurance test about an abstract loser.
Hollywood Reporter
Leslie Felperin
Mr. Turner manages to illuminate that nexus between biography and art with elegant understatement.
