Big Eyes (2015)

This is a true story, and one that I really did not know anything about (kind of like how I felt after watching Trumbo, that film had brought something that I didn't know much about into my consciousness).  It is the story of the artist behind making the very creepy paintings of sad children with over sized eyes that were very popular in the 1960's.  The filmmaker is Tim Burton, which totally makes sense and he plays it with the right touch.
Amy Adams plays Margaret Keane, a woman with limited artistic talent and bad taste in men, to a tee.  She is a little bit irritating and you feel more than a little sorry for her.  Christopher Waltz is her husband, a man with no talent artistically but is a wizard when it comes to marketing and sales.  He takes his wife's paintings as his own and he makes them, and thereby him, a huge success.  It is soul crushing to her, because not only does she have to lie to absolutely everyone, including her daughter, they consume all of her time, so she really has no life.  She eventually speaks out, but the whole story is kind of fascinating in a reality TV kind of way.
