Big Eyes (2014)

This biopic is based on the life of American artist Margaret Keane, whose distinct painting aesthetic of wide-eyed children and animals earned her commercial recognition and critical acclaim. The film illuminates how Keane (Amy Adams) fought for artistic independence after her ex-husband, Walter Keane (Christoph Waltz), took false credit for her paintings for years.

While I wouldn't consider it one of Burton's best works, the way the film addresses institutional sexism in artistic spaces is super engageing and managed to pique my interest.

Watch Big Eyes on Tubi.
