Despite the topic of this movie, which is about a woman artists that creates paintings of children with big eyes, I thought that this was a strange title for this movie. This is a very good movie on the study of human nature and just how bad some people can get. The husband of this woman artist lost no sleep when it came to stealing and taking credit for someone else's work. I am a retired software developer and I have seen things like this in the past, when a co-worker takes credit for someone else's work and has no problems doing something like this many times over. This is a true story with a very good ending but very often in real life the "right thing" does not always happen. The phrase Nice guys finish last comes to mind.
My only big knock against this movie was the non-stop smoking in so many scenes by Amy Adams, who played the main character in this movie. Even though smoking was much more prevalent in the 1960's and 70's there was absolutely no reason to show so much smoking in this movie. Showing smoking in movies should have been banned many years ago.
I thought this movie was good and I do recommend it.
