IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

This is a powerful and emotional British drama that charters the early career of acclaimed artist L.S. Lowry, with a heavy focus on his tumultuous but effective relationship with his opinionated mother, which actors Vanessa Redgrave and Timothy Spall do their very best to bring to life.
