It's certainly not a bad film, but aside from Spall's performance and the cinematography, this is one of [Leigh's] lesser works.

Mike Leigh's biopic is so richly detailed that it feels like a documentary. Spall goes for broke in the outsize title role.

It is by turns funny, tragic and savage, but the strongest sense both leave us with is one of wistful mourning. It's not easy being an artist.
