Based on the true story of the American painter Margaret Keane who, in the 1950s, saw her life diminished by having her artistic work claimed by her husband — at that time a woman’s name on a work of art was not considered commercially wise. Although Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz, as the leads, are two actors that almost always impress me, I thought they played the characters as characters rather than real people — a bit too melodramatic for my taste here. Unfortunately, I lost interest in the characters by the half-way mark, but I think many of you may be more receptive to this film than I was.
