Full Plot Details

Four year old Marla Olmstead from Binghamton, New York became the sensation of the art world for her abstract artwork, which have sold for thousands of dollars per piece. The showing of her work started off as a lark, but when the paintings sold without the buyers knowing who the artist was, the media began to run with the story. Through it all, Marla's parents, Mark Olmstead and Laura Olmstead, want to be grounded in what is best for their daughter while exposing her to whatever positive may come from the experience. But some negative and big name media also surfaces, some questioning whether Marla is the real artist behind the work, and some questioning exposing a four year old to such infamy. Regardless, the fact of this art selling brings up the legitimacy of abstract art being quantified as "quality", especially if a four year old can produce it but can't express the emotions or rationale behind its creation. Or is art truly in the eyes of the beholder? Regardless, money, in the art world as is much in life, becomes the great equalizer.

Movie Reviews

St. Paul Pioneer Press - 9/10 by Chris HewittBar-Lev proves to be a remarkably sensitive filmmaker, one who asks questions with fairness and insight and who is constantly asking himself what effect he's having on the story.
Looking Closer - 9/10 by Jeffrey OverstreetOne of art's richest rewards is its way of teaching us about our assumptions, doubts, and capacity for faith. ... My Kid Could Paint That gets people thinking and talking.
Capital Times (Madison, WI) - 9/10 by Rob ThomasDocumentary filmmaker Amir Bar-Lev's "My Kid Could Paint That" is an impressive feat in that it revels in its own ambiguity while still giving us a very entertaining, ripped-from-the-headlines mystery story.
Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - 9/10 by Paul KosidowskiIt's a rare glimpse into the truth about the world and the art that tries to say something about it.
Kansas City Star - 9/10 by Robert W. ButlerMy Kid Could Paint That may not deal with life-or-death matters like murder or child molestation, but it raises questions that will nag viewers for days and weeks after the experience.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by J. R. JonesThe self-reflexive narrative is particularly fascinating because Marla's story is so critical to selling her art; everyone involved, the filmmaker included, has a vested interest in proving it genuine or fake.
Combustible Celluloid - 9/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonAt every turn Bar-Lev very gently and fairly lays out the different sides of the story, and in doing so exposes bigger hypocrisies.
Palo Alto Weekly - 9/10 by Jeanne AufmuthMaddening and more than a little thought-provoking.
Film Journal International - 9/10 by David NohA fascinating film which touches on a captivating range of subjects.
ComingSoon.net - 9/10 by Edward DouglasThe open-endedness of the film makes for a rather unsatisfying non-conclusion to the story ... but like the best documentaries, it leaves you asking questions without trying to answer them for you.
