In the late 1950s and early '60s, artist Walter Keane achieves unbelievable fame and success with portraits of saucer-eyed waifs. However, no one realizes that his wife, Margaret, is the real painter behind the brush. Although Margaret is horrified to learn that Walter is passing off her work as his own, she is too meek to protest too loudly. It isn't until the Keanes' marriage comes to an end and a lawsuit follows that the truth finally comes to light.

The story itself is fascinating...Amy Adams' quiet meticulous performance as Margaret Keane is a beautiful and emotional piece of work.

Tim Burton’s return to real-life storytelling is entertaining but flawed. See it for a fascinating true story and a fantastic Amy Adams.

This is Burton’s most mainstream film to date, which isn’t to say it’s not an eccentrically entertaining ride.
