Review of Mr. Turner (2014) by Ty Burr for Boston Globe — 12 Jan 2015
A life is not plot; plot is not life. By scrupulously sticking not just to the accuracies of Turner’s life as we know them but to the tiniest of details, the chipped mugs on kitchen tables, the pantaloons on a passing merchant, the spray of storm surf across the bow of a ship, Leigh wants us to truly see the world Turner moved through.
Only by seeing that world can we see how he saw and painted it.
