BIG EYES: A refreshing change of pace for director Tim Burton who uses
color to a big advantage in this biopic. This is the story of Margaret Keane
whose paintings of waifs in the early fifties were thought to be by her
husband, Walter, giving him much renown that he didn't deserve. Christoph Waltz
and Amy Adams play the couple and both give outstanding performances with Waltz
doing a demented tour de force that will grow on you as the film
progresses. Terrance Stamp plays a dour
art critic to perfection and there is not a false note in the entire
movie. If you remember those big eyed
children that were all the rage in one point in our lives, you will find this
film absolutely fascinating. Kudos to
all involved.
