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.

8/10

When I first started watching the movie "Big Eyes" starring Amy Adams, I didn't have high expectations. I assumed it would be another typical older film that had its time in the spotlight. However, I was pleasantly surprised as the story unfolded. The film follows a wife who decides to leave her husband, realizing he's not the right match for her. She finds solace in a painter who she admires, leading to a fast-paced romance. Both characters are artists, with the wife painting children with big, expressive eyes that reflect deep emotions and turmoil. The movie boasts exceptional acting, a compelling storyline, and a captivating plot. As the narrative progresses, it's revealed that the husband is a fraudulent artist, taking credit for his wife's work and financial gains. The twist adds depth to the story and keeps viewers engaged. What truly impressed me was discovering that "Big Eyes" is based on a true story. This revelation added a layer of credibility and authenticity to the film, making the ending even more satisfying. The actors' performances were outstanding, bringing the characters to life in a remarkable way. Overall, "Big Eyes" exceeded my expectations with its powerful story, excellent delivery, and conclusive ending. It was a film that left me feeling excited and fulfilled by the time the credits rolled.
