I can't believe how close-minded some of you are.. Good abstract art is the physical manifestation of the way that someone's creative entity works. If you think you have the same thought process and abilities as abstract artists. Prove it. Show us. Twits.

Just like Pollock its a bunch of paint tossed on canvass which happens to be visually pleasing. Then Dad rolls in and selects the good ones and polishes them up. It so obvious that it hurts.

I've seen it and I can't say the documentary actually clears up whether she makes them or not, I guess only time will tell.
I too feel sorry for the kid, especially the little brother, who's in desperate need of some attention, you know if she didn't do them he's gonna tell sooner or later.- maybe he's the real genius here...doesnotexist

What did you think about the part where they're in the hotel ad Marla keeps saying how Zane made a painting, not her father multiple times but he just ignores her until she stops.
Something about the father just doesn't sit well with me.

- I viewed the trailer, my gut tells me that her father is behind everything, hmmm...organic_grid

like many after him Pollock dripped a bunch of paint onto a canvas. Nothing more. Nothing Less. It was new and crazy at the time and the art world fell in love with it. This doesn't take away from the fact they are often beautiful and well composed. Jacksons talent lied within his ability to play the part/role of artist - which is why he is so fondly remember today.
Need proof? Look no further than all the disputed Pollock pieces floating around. Anybody can do. Not everyone can be remembered for doing it.

- seems kind of rigged though, like the whole thing, movie included.ThePublics

I remember when "20/20" had an "art show", where they had art by children up in a museum. Then they asked "experts", collectors, and viewers to comment, and they were so elitist about it. Their descriptions were peppered with large words referencing famous painters from the past. It was hilarious to see their reactions once it was revealed that children from normal schools had painted the art.
"20/20" did a similar test with water bottles and tap water too.
- I realize there are holes in this tactic but it was still funny to watch their faces.Jaline
- I remember seeing that, I found it funny.Complexfruit

Why do documentaries have to be movies now?
Just so people can have their ego stroked that they're at the cinema watching something other than explosions, when the rest of us just watch documentaries on TV where they should be.

on one of the videos you can over here the mother saying---"put more red up in the top corner..add more blue...or white"

"Nobody has touched paint to any of her canvases."
Possibly true, but who can say. I would imagine though that if her parents did not make her put down her brushes after a given amount of time, Marla would paint what we all painted at that age. A canvas full of dingy smudges.

Anyone else who's seen the movie notice how the father almost shit his pants when the wife mentioned a polygraph test?
