A transparent look at the art world. Fascinating trucker and treasure hunter Teri Horton stumbles across what she thinks may be a Jackson Pollock, and she has to battle the tastes of art collectors and agents to prove its authenticity. After a long battle with the reigning gods, ...( read more)
A really great story about the ultimate underdog battling against the stubborn art world. This was near perfect, although the fact that there isn't any sort of conclusion really took away from the drama near the finale. On one hand, we are left knowing that Horton has stuck to he...( read more)
Great movie, to see how the art world works, and how when money enters the equation, all bets are off, and everyone's a 'expert'.
4/10
Sure the subject matter is intriguing and at times presented in a thought provoking way, but the film proves anti-climatic, repetitive, and even bored me at times which is amazing considering I'm currently an Art History major. I would rather have read a book on the subject...( read more)
eh, really this movie served no purpose, didnt really say who jackson pollock was, just spoke about if a painting some woman bought at a thrift store was made by him, and then it doesnt even say if it is indeed from the hand of jackson pollock...

A rather amusing story about a truck-drivin' trailerpark-dwellin' country music-listenin' cussin' "lady" who bought a painting at a thrift store that may or may not be a Jackson Pollock. Forensic evidence says, "yes it is," but the art world says "no." The class differences reall...( read more)
A character study of a hilarious trucker who, after a thrifting trip, ended up with a possible Jackson Pollock in her lap. Once she found out who the hell that was, her battle for recognition ensued. Well-presented, entertaining and interesting. Get a bit of art history as well.
Interesting Doc about a woman, Teri Horton, who buys a painting for $5. at a thrift shop...only to find out she may actually have a real Jackson Pollock worth $50,000,000.00!!!! The smarmy art "experts" believe its a fake, but theres a fingerprint matching Pollocks and paint samp...( read more)
This board looks lonely. Be the first to talk about "Who the $#%@ Is Jackson Pollock" !
