If you loved Vera Drake, try Mr. Turner
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Mike Leigh, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Vera Drake, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Mr. Turner is
Turner’s last years unleashed, bristling with cussing and candle wax. A seaside liaison blooms while his housekeeper’s devotion curdles. The mud and mastery arrive in one man’s final flourish.
