THE FILM
The true story of American artist Margaret Keane (Amy Adams (http://www.tribute.ca/people/amy-adams/8638/)), who became famous in the 1960s for her paintings of children as large-eyed waifs. Her husband, Walter (Christoph Waltz (http://www.tribute.ca/people/christoph-waltz/33750/)) took credit for her work.
He lived the high life while she toiled in relative anonymity in the Bay Area, until Margaret experienced a personal awakening due to the feminist movement and sued for the right to use her own name on her artwork. MORE INFORMATION (http://www.tribute.ca/trailers/big-eyes/20033/).
