Reminds me of a Laurie Anderson quote

"Only an expert can deal with the problem. Only an expert can deal with the problem." (Laurie Anderson)


It was so strange because all those so-called experts of art were just saying the things they had to say to keep their own positions as elevated and mysterious-sounding as possible. The "experts" didn't care about evidence from fingerprints. My word. And then the part where they blew up for a close-up of one of Pollock's authenticated paintings and put it next to a blow-up of Terri's painting -- clearly a match. And I just LOVED the part with the guy who forges Van Gogh, Monet and many other famous artists but who says he can't replicate a Pollock because it's too many things to consider and too hard to do. Anyone with common sense can see that unless there was fraud with the fingerprints (which apparently there was not) she has her hands on a Jackson Pollock painting. And it's already brought her luck in its own way.

At first I was VERY disappointed in this film because I had not realized what the movie was going to be about. I thought it would be a documentary on Pollock. But this turned out to be worth watching.
