Viewing Notes

A documentary I’ve been wanting to see for a while is Amir Bar-Lev’s My Kid Could Paint That (2007) and it lives up to what I expected; it presents both sides yet leans a little more on the skepticism of this apparent prodigy child. Ever since I saw the controversy unfold on 60 Minutes, I’ve wanted to know more about the story. This doc gives it all and the bonus post-film featurette gives even more. Totally worth checking out.
