Review of Mr. Turner (2014) by Dan M — 04 Dec 2014
Every year, there is at least one movie that becomes the "Emperor's New Clothes" of the Oscars. Critics love it, the Academy loves it, and then you go watch it and think, "What is this garbage?" I think this year Mr.
Turner will be that movie. Why would a filmmaker think we would want to spend over two hours in a theater and not show us anything? If you ever watched the Harry Potter movies and thought, "I'd love to see that rat who turned human grunt for over 2 hours," then this is the movie for you.
I understand that in reality life can sometimes seem like a series of unconnected, uninteresting events, and filming something like that might be realistic, but it doesn't make it good.
