An Art Film

Directed by Harry Moses

200674 min6.5 / 10

A charming, character-driven documentary about an ordinary woman's unlikely quest to authenticate a potential masterpiece, balancing humor, skepticism, and genuine human determination.

After semi-truck driver Teri Horton bought a large splatter painting for her friend for $5, she was forced to sell it in her own garage sale when her friend said she had no place for it. Eventually someone commented on the painting stating it might be an original Jackson Pollock. This documentary follows Teri, her son, and a forensics specialist as they attempt to prove to the world, or more specifically the art community, her painting is a true Jackson Pollock
