Claudio C Big Eyes (2014) The True Artist (11,971 – 07 Oct 2025 – by Claudio Carvalho) In the 50’s, Margaret (Amy Adams) leaves her husband and heads to San Francisco with her daughter Jane. She meets her friend Dee-Ann (Krysten Ritter) and looks for a job. But she makes some money selling and making paintings with big eyes. While exposing her paintings on the street, she knows the painter Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz), who sells his paintings from France. Soon they get married and Walter, who is good in self-marketing, sells her paintings as if they were his. Margaret accepts the situation until the day she learns that he has never painted and threatens her. “Big Eyes” (2014) is a totally different movie by Tim Burton. Based on true event, the film retells the interesting story of the painter Margaret Keane, wgi had bug eyes of children as trademark. When she had a problem in her ear when she was a child, Margaret saw the importance of the eyes and highlighted this importance painting big eyes in children. The film shows her husband Walter Keabe as an opportunist. The acting of Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz are top-notch. My vote is eight. Title (Brazil): “Olhos randes” (“Big Eyes”) My Blog: https://maniacosporfilme.wordpress.com/ Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/07/25 Full Review Gareth v A restrained and refreshingly grounded turn for Tim Burton, who has put aside his usual surrealism in favour of character-driven drama.

Acting was meh Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 07/12/25 Full Review 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.
