Do you think The Woodmans are pleased with how this doc turned out?


I wonder whether this lived up to their expectations. Do you think they expected it to elevate Francesca's standing in the art world along with their own? Did they worry that the film might focus too much attention on their family's dysfunctionality and, especially, their own personal shortcomings?

I'm especially curious about George, who comes across as a spectacular failure as a creative artist. He insists all the way through that his life was dedicated to the creation of great art, yet in the end all he seems to have to hold on to is a small measure of fame and some biological "longevity" - relative to his daughter's premature death.
