Here is the link to my Twitter thread review of Mike Leigh's film Mr. Turner.

In my Twitter thread I discuss how the film is a portrait of 1800s society. I discuss how the film addresses communication: human communication and communication about art. I discuss some contrasting aspects of Turner's personality. I also discuss how the film explores the tension between the private and the public.

Here is the trailer for the film Mr. Turner.
