MY KID COULD PAINT THAT




Documentary

Four-year old Marla Olmstead
Her father Mark, a factory worker and an amateur painter
Her mother Laura, a dental hygienist
Anthony Brunelli, owner of an art gallery
New York Times art critic Michael Kimmelman

REVIEW
This is fascinating stuff and not just for those who like abstract painting. There is far more at stake here: it raises issues about parental responsibility, culpability, exploitation and just what constitutes art. So many questions, so few answers because the viewer is left to decide on his own.


CLASSIFICATION
for language. (Two, maybe three, mild swear words)
