In some critical quarters, the film has been described as dull, dour, and lifeless. Funny that; as the same was said about Lowry's paintings by art critics of the day. There's a lesson to be learned here - never trust a critic! Lowry's paintings were wonderful, and there is much to recommend in the film too, not least the performances of Spall and Redgrave. See it through your own eyes, and pay little heed to those who are quick to judge.

It doesn't ever catch fire, but is well written and does seem to accurately reflect the routine and repetitive existence of both Lowry and his largely bedridden mother. The principals gel well, and we do get a sense of what their relationship More
