Big Eyes
Following her performance at Studio 8H for Saturday Night Live and receiving critical-acclaim on HBO’s True Detective, Amy Adams stars in the new drama-biography release Big Eyes. With no per-premieres at festivals, the $10 million dollar project distributed The Weinstein Company has severely flown under the radar in our eyes. Luckily familiar faces in the likes of Christoph Waltz, Danny Huston, Jon Polito, Krysten Ritter and Jason Schwartzman will have many giving this one a second look. The feature film focuses on artist and painter Margaret Keane and her success during the 1950s. After a nasty fall-out with her husband in the 1960s, her work was soon questioned when her husband claims credit – soon bringing the two major legal difficulties. Thus far, Big Eyes has been receiving a more than positive response and could be a dark horse for best new release this weekend.
