Goofs

The movie makes a big point about O'Keefe painting the ladies lounge at Radio City Music Hall. In fact, she acquiesced to Steiglitz and turned down the contract and did no planning or actual painting on the project.

User Reviews

Lost adventure

Skin of a biography. Nothing spectacular. Invitation for knowledge, few pieces from a way to discover and define the world. Good cast and good story. But the final taste is not impressive. It is not a picture of Georgia's life but it has this ambition. It is not suggestion of ingredients of art but must be. It is not a poetry about lost beauties but the desire to be exist. It is a film about the fight of a woman. About the desert of days and fear to be only part of another existence. About limits of every Pygmalion work. And the nuances of love as song of deep refuges. May be an emotional step for public. Or a nice story. Or beginning of exploration in the universe of a great artist. For me - fragments of a ticket to lost adventure.
