This film is a biographical drama based off the life of Margaret Keane. After leaving her husband, Margaret begins street painting to earn extra cash. She meets and marries Walter Keane. Through a mistake Walter receives credit for Margaret's art work. Margaret reluctantly agrees to continue the con, because Walter is the perfect salesman.
This film was directed by Tim Burton. This film is very different from Burton's previous works, because it is grounded in reality instead of pure fantasy. The biographical story is told like someone is reporting a life narrative; which gives the film a more realistic appeal. It is easy to see how the con worked so well until the truth was revealed-a painter and a salesman. It is also a statement for female empowerment, and artistic rights. The performances really drive the story. Amy Adams played the role of Margaret Keane. This role is difficult to perform, because she's a silent and uninteresting person. However, Amy has enough charm to make the character lovable. Christoph Waltz played the role of Walter Keane. This over the top character could've easily been cheesy. However, he performs it with charisma that you can't stop watching. Madeleine Arthur played the role of Jane. She was a great supporting actress for Adams and Waltz.
I give this film 5 out of 5 stars! It is a great biographical story to watch on screen. The terrific cast makes it worth the watch.
This film can be found on DVD.
