This is a look at the life and art of artist Georgia O'Keeffe.
I'm torn about this film. I like the film, but I am very frustrated by it.
This is a film that has huge amount of information on O'Keeffe. In it's way it is everything you could ever hop to know about her. The trouble is that the film doesn't give us everything we need to know. What it does is that it will mention something like O'Keeffe giving a donations so that Black Americans could see art, but it doesn't explain what that did. Another time the film talks about how O'Keeffe broke with a friend of 50 years because she wrote a biography of the artist. O'Keeffe turned had worked on the book and then simply broke. Why? We don't know. There are other examples, which makes this film really good but not wholly successful.
It's not a bad, it frustrated. I kept wanting to stop the film and email the filmmakers.
If you love the artist, try the film.
