Turner is a popular painter in early-to-mid 1800s, but beneath his well-respected reputation lies a tortured mind. At odds with much of his family, he spends his time alone with his work except when he occasionally exploits his housekeeper, who is secretly in love with him. The film follows Turner as he travels the countryside, stirs controversy among the artistic establishment, and pursues a romance with a widow.

** Benjamin Haydon, a painter who begs Turner for a loan. Though he committed suicide during the period of the film, this isn't mentioned presumably because Turner is senile and isolated by then.
** Mary Sommerville, a natural philosopher who demonstrates her theories about the magnetizing effects of light to Turner and his father.
** John Ruskin, a prominent art critic depicted here in his youth as a pretentious, irritating and spoiled fanatic of Turner's work.
** John Jabez Edwin Mayall, an early photographer who takes Turner's picture near the end of the film and also took numerous famous portraits of real people like Karl Marx and Queen Victoria.
** John Constable, a fellow painter whose work Turner vandalizes.
** Joseph Gillott, a wealthy pen manufacturer who tries to buy Turner's entire portfolio.
** Queen Victoria and Prince Albert themselves, who deride Turner's increasingly abstract work.

* RandomEventsPlot: The films consists of a series of mostly disconnected vignettes from across multiple decades of Turner's life, many of which are mundane or miscellaneous things like having his picture taken and meeting with acquaintances, without a particular driving force or conflict behind them. Instead the film serves to illustrate Turner's psychology and the society he lived in.

A 2014 {{biopic}} about the the British painter J.M.W Turner, directed by MikeLeigh. Turner is portrayed by TimothySpall.
Turner is a popular painter in early-to-mid 1800s, but beneath his well-respected reputation lies a tortured mind. At odds with much of his family, he spends his time alone with his work except when he occasionally exploits his housekeeper, who is secretly in love with him. The film follows Turner as he travels the countryside, stirs controversy among the artistic establishment, and pursues a romance with a widow.
For his work in ''Mr. Turner'', Spall won the Best Actor award at Cannes.
!! This film provides examples of:
*AmbiguousDisorder: As Turner ages, he becomes ever more ill-mannered and eccentric. It's implied that he's senile by the end of the film.
*AttentionWhore: Turner's antics at the Royal Academy show definite signs of this.
*BadBoss: Turner, towards Hannah Danby.
*DeadpanSnarker: Turner and several of his artist friends.
