It was a bit of a chilly winters day when I headed up the hill to a suburban cinema to see this movie. This is a movie centered around UK artist L S Lowry (played by Timothy Spall), and his domineering elderly mother played by Vanessa Redgrave. It is an exploration of the mother son relationship and my goodness, I could never have lived with that woman with as much patience and kindness as this gentle quiet man. 5/5
