Biography and drama.
Starring Harry Lawtey, Lesley Manville, Aimee-Ffion Edwards, Toby Jones and Aneurin Barnard Elfed
Mr. Burton tells the true story of the relationship between Port Talbot schoolmaster Philip Burton and a wild young schoolboy called Richard Jenkins, the son of a wayward drunk. Richard dreamed of becoming an actor, but his ambitions were in danger of being derailed by a combination of family trouble, the pressure of war, and his own lack of discipline. Mr. Burton recognized the raw talent in his pupil, becoming his tutor, strict taskmaster and eventually his adoptive father.
Terry Staunton, Radio Times, 4/5 says "Lawtey is the true star of the piece, a mesmerising presence both in early scenes as the rough-around-the-edges pupil and in latter stages of the narrative, when his volatile personality threatens to derail a thespian career before it's barely begun."
Tara Brady, Irish Times, 4/5 says "Marc Evans’s film is a lovely thing...[Toby] Jones and [Leslie] Manville are predictably excellent."
Peter Bradshaw, Guardian, 3/5 says "A heartfelt, vigorously acted, enjoyable, if slightly naïve movie.
