Beloved British artist L.S. Lowry (Timothy Spall) lived all his life with his over-bearing mother Elizabeth (Vanessa Redgrave). Bed-ridden and bitter, Elizabeth actively tried to dissuade her bachelor son from pursuing his artistic ambitions, whilst never failing to voice her opinion at what a disappointment he was to her.

"I’m a man who paints, nothing more, nothing less.." One wonders whether it’s worse when a parent tries to fulfill their own ambitions through their child or suffocates the child’s own ambitions. The selfish one cries, catch the selfish one, until the cup overflows, and only the amount of love determines the consequences. A mundane story of ordinary people, where one happens to be an artist who battles internal angels rather than demons. Adding sedatives to plum pudding probably wouldn’t help, would it? Minus one scarlet for the overuse of the sentimental piano.
