Did you know?!Facts and trivia about Mrs Lowry & Son (2019)
Can contain spoilers, watch the movie first.
- Timothy Spall had already played the painter J. M. W. Turner in Mr. Turner, so for L. S. Lowry he skipped any painting refresher course: as he said, the film contains very little painting.
- Stephen Warbeck was announced in January 2018 as the composer of Mrs Lowry & Son, but Scottish composer Craig Armstrong took over the scoring duties instead, for reasons the article does not give.
SPOILER
The real artist behind the film, L. S. Lowry, lived with his overbearing mother Elizabeth until she died in 1939, the relationship the drama is built on.
