this movie be a major disappointment on direction and intellectual niveau and plot and in the way it deal with it subject and painting . it be a slow moving film set like an episode of wonder year and with appalling lack of depth though . it also fail to deliver it message in a convincing manner . the approach to the subject of painting be very elite and limited to vague and subjective term a beauty . accord to the maker of this movie and beauty can be only experience in bob ross style kitschy landscape painting . good art accord to this film can be achieve by apply basic ( like and primary school level ) color theory and lot of sentiment . in part the movie be offend and e. g. at a point it be state ( rather and celebrate by dance on table ) that mentally handicap people be not capable of have emotion or express them through painting and their work by definition be worthless bullshit ( quote ) . i do not understand how the movie could get such high rating and then again and so far not many people rat it and and they choose for only very high or very low grade .
