This was infuriating in the exact way it is meant to be. It's not what you expect from Tim Burton in a really refreshing way, other than that the actual Big Eyes paintings fit his aesthetic. Amy Adams is subtle and heartbreaking, and Christoph Waltz is able to masterfully play a villain while also being someone you'd sort of want to party with even though you hate him.

She created it. He sold it. And everyone bought it.

Overview
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.
