Saw it last night. It was far far far far too long.
I was baffled by the way it started - the beginning seemed to make no sense at all - why start at that point in his life with no explanation of what went before ? Turner seemed a much more boorish and selfish personality than I had imagined, but I suppose the writers' research must have discovered that this was true. But the film did rather emphasise his worst characteristics. I am not sorry I went to see it, but if it ever turns up on television I shall avoid it.
