Charlotte C Beautiful film! Harry Lawtey (of Industry fame) is magnificent - despite big Burton shoes to fill. He transitions from gawky teen to acclaimed actor with great finesse, and what a voice! Toby Jones is an excellent character actor. The scene in which he finally looses his rag is spellbinding. Lesley Manville is not subtle enough for film, in my view, but she lightens the tone. The screenplay is strong, authentic with lovely touches of humour. The scenery gorgeous. This film will appeal across generations - take the family! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/20/25 Full Review Ian C One of those rare films that appeals to all. Not only a Welsh icon but a Hollywood superstar. Perfectly cast, stupendously directed and some breathtaking locations to boot. This film will clean up at the awards. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/12/25 Full Review David L Mr. Burton is a beautifully crafted film that lingers long after the credits roll. Anchored by a standout performance from its lead, the story weaves heart, humor, and a quiet intensity into a truly unforgettable experience. The direction is assured, allowing small moments to breathe while never losing narrative momentum. Every frame feels intentional, with gorgeous cinematography and a haunting score that elevates the emotional depth. Mr. Burton is that rare kind of film—intimate yet expansive, personal yet universally resonant. It’s a moving, masterfully told story that deserves to be seen, felt, and celebrated. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/08/25 Full Review Matilda J I loved this film so much I've seen it several times at the cinema and taken different people with me each time! Beautifully acted, and a moving story. Definitely recommend. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/08/25 Full Review Jamie M There aren't enough superlatives in the English (or Welsh) dictionary to describe this masterpiece of a film. Career defining performance from Harry Lawtey and the Best of British when it comes to the acting chops of Toby and Lesley. Aimee-Ffion should always be at the forefront of every casting director's minds. Marc Evans should be a household name, whatever he touches, turns to absolute gold. Can't recommend this film enough. Go see it! You will not be disappointed. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review R G I thought this film was very good. I was still thinking about it days after I left the cinema. Richard Burton was obviously a very complex person. He was very much plagued by his demons as shown through his heavy drinking, but there must have been a very strong sense of self (if that's what it was) that led him from his beginnings to being called one of the greatest actors of his time - although those demons ultimately got him in the end. Unlike another reviewer I thought the music was good, emotive and well placed. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/27/25 Full Review Read all reviews
