Andzel E Great movie and artists ❤️ Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/24/25 Full Review Sergio P I agree with the two unsuccessful artists who said this work could be replicated in 10 minutes. As a creative person, you know that being successful (good at marketing your art) is 99.99% of the equation. The husband was brilliant at what he did. The wife comes across as ungrateful and delusional. She would have been poor and could have lost her child to her previous husband. Instead of appreciating what she had, she spiraled into madness. The husband's line, 'I would whack you,' feels like a weak attempt to make us hate him. I stopped watching after that. However, the quality of the visuals is fantastic! Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 10/16/24 Full Review Twiggy H A decent film about justice prevailing. Great acting with a really nice film aesthetic. Does get frustrating at times but that simply shows the frustration of that situation, which is unpleasant even as an audience watching. I did glance over the review comments and have a pointers to what i read: - About the Margaret character 'going along with the scam for so many years' - it is very clearly laid out throughout that film how manipulative and controlling her husband was being, and that her own characteristics were not of someone who knew how to deal with that. Remember, she was a single mother who enjoyed painting who was also trying to make a decent living from her talent. - Not 'everyone wants to be an artist' the story simply has a character who was NEVER an artist but trying to fob his way into an industry with little to no talent of his own. That written, it barely touches the surface of the sheer frustration and disappointment some artists have in the art industry. Would be interesting to see films of this sort exposing 'bigger' names. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/27/24 Full Review Joshua m The best actors in hollywood doing their magic here in a hard to believe but true period piece biopic. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 06/26/24 Full Review Audience Member The first half of the movie was interesting and professionally done. Something happened midway through that turned it into an after school special, including the taking 3 amazing talents and turning them into barely mediocre performances. Amy Adams, Christoph Waltz and Tim Burton are deserved titans of acting and directing. I’ve never watched either Amy or Christoph and felt like they were acting. Waltz has always teetered on the absurd, typically landing it perfectly. But he became a caricature of himself. Amy was better, but not by much. I have to say that all of this falls on Burton and / or the editor. The story line has so much potential and I found it hard to get through it. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 05/09/24 Full Review Jeff M A disappointment from director Tim Burton, though not as bad as ALICE IN WONDERLAND, this drama tells the true story of artist Margaret Keane, whose husband Walter took credit for her famous paintings of children with big eyes, until a court case finally proved her as the true creator. This is a very frustrating film, as it doesn't convince us why Margaret went along with the scam for so many years - she almost comes across as a Stepford Wives-like zombie. Supporting characters are not well developed, Amy Adams as Margaret is fine but Christoph Waltz as Walter is way over the top. Some good moments but not an overall success.
