Big Eyes

"REWATCH: All my homies hate Walter Keane. Talk about a narcissistic master manipulator! The audacity he had to claim that Margaret’s paintings were his is completely out of this world. Like, what did he think was going to happen? That no one would question the veracity of his claims? He was the scum of the earth, gaslighting Margaret and taking advantage of her vulnerable situation after leaving her first husband. The only thing he ever created was a good story. I must say, Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz nailed the dynamic between the two. I also really enjoy Tim Burton’s directing style in a more realistic setting. My favorite moment was definitely the paint off! It was so satisfying to see Walter panic. I must also hand it to the woman herself: Margaret’s paintings really were eye catching and I’m glad she finally received the credit she deserved! "

"Although I like fantasy, I thought this movie was too much"

"i hate man"

"As usual Amy Adams was excellent as the lead character in this film based on a true story. It’s hard to believe this poor woman, well probably all women in the 1950’s, had to live in the shadows of their husbands. Thank goodness times have changed (somewhat). I’ve seen these big eye paintings before but to me they always just seemed computer generated and not produced by a real artist. Whether you like her art or not this film appreciates and respects her fight for her artistry. "

"Great film. Enjoyed every bit of it. I totally predicted the ending but still enjoyed it. I felt during some of the film parts were left out.. like missing pieces of the story that needed to be there. Margaret takes her daughter to Hawaii after (I don’t want I spoil it) something and officially goes off the board for 1 year without anyone finding her. I’m just wondering how did she pay for everything ? Like maybe she went to the bank and took stuff out… idk. But I’m glad they got to Hawaii. I’m also surprised at the end of the film she signed book that was a collection of art she produced but under her ex husbands name. But now thinking that over, I now see it as a way to show herself and him that the paintings always belong to her. I’m guessing with the feelings of missing stuff in the film there’s a lot of stuff that happened in her life that they couldn’t fit in the film. It was sad to see that her ex husband till he died in 2000 still tried to call her work his. But yes go watch it. It’s wonderful. "

"So good!! "

"The screenplay barely sheds light on Margaret Keane: her lense as an artist, her youth and why she paints big eyed figures, or what truly compels her to be naive and compliant enough to hide behind her scheming second husband their entire marriage. These elements of importance are briefly touched upon, at best. An interesting watch because of the talented Amy Adams and Christoph Waltz. Perhaps aligned with his own taste, Burton himself falls for the bizarre and manic characteristics of Walter Keane, instead of following Margaret closely, and crafting a film full of what could have been compelling commentary on socioeconomic gender inequality. Instead, the real painter is yet again undermined and overlooked, even in her own biopic. "

"I love movies that tell real-life stories. A really gripping film about the true life story of artist Margaret Keane. What an amazing woman. Casting was spot on, and Amy Adams plays her beautifully! *reviewed on podcast There’s More to the Story 🫶🏻*"

"This was such a good movie to watch and it showed how people can be two faced"

"Loved this film!!!♥️♥️♥️"
