One telling scene in defense of parents.
Something that stuck out for me - do you remember, fairly early on, they interview an art teacher that says the parents wanted her to teach Marla, but she refused, basically saying she didn't want to interfere with Marla's genius?
Well, what if she had said yes? I think it would have been clear to any art teacher pretty quickly if Marla had no talent, and didn't actually paint the paintings.
If dad was faking it, that was a pretty risky move on his part.
I still don't know what to think. I believe the mother, but I don't think I believe the father. He looks awfully nervous and shifty in the doc. Time will tell.
