Big Eyes




I was attracted to the movie, "Big Eyes", because of the stars: Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz. I am not a fan of the director, Tim Burton.  This is a true story of the artist who painted the Big Eyes series that portrayed children with big sad eyes back in the 1960's.

Margaret  Keane created this series of paintings and her husband hustled them as his own works, saying that no one would buy "woman art".  It is a fast paced, well acted story of life in the sixties and the world of manufactured success. This movie is isn't getting much push but its because it is a PG50 movie. (PG13).  This is a crazy story.
.
I love all movies of these two actors.

2014 Movie #54

I give it ***1/2 stars
