Thomas Kinkade's pastoral landscapes made him the most collected and despised painter of all time. After his shocking death, his family discovers a vault of unseen paintings that reveal a complex artist whose life and work embody our divided America.

Pam Grady

San Francisco Chronicle

With observations from collectors, friends, art critics, his family, and Kinkade himself in archival footage, this documentary reveals what all those pictures of cozy cottages hid: a complicated life as tragic as it was triumphant.

What Art for Everybody does is highlight the life of a man, discovering that there was more behind his persona, and that within all of us is a struggling artist.

Rated: 3.5/4

Film Threat

The documentary delivers a satisfying conclusion to the painter’s legacy, inviting those who criticized Kinkade to explore the man within the vault and encouraging those who loved him to continue escaping with the artist into the houses he painted.

Rated: 7/10

Screen Zealots

A documentary that captures the true essence of a very complicated man. After you learn about the real Thomas Kinkade, you’ll never look at his art the same way again.

Film Inquiry

Art for Everybody focuses on the life and legacy of the Painter of Light: Thomas Kinkade, but it is also an intimate and compelling look at the dark parts we sometimes keep from the world.
