MPAA RATING: PG-13 for some language
Starring Teri Horton, Tod Volpe, Ben Heller, Nick Carone, John Myatt, and Thomas Hoving
When Teri Horton, a 73-year-old former long-haul truck driver with an eighth grade education, bought a painting in a thrift shop for five dollars, she didn't know that it would pit her against the highest and mightiest people in the art world and perhaps change forever the way art is authenticated. This rollicking adventure story documents Teri's 15-year war with the art world, lifts the veil on how art is bought and sold in America, and introduces audiences to the funny, profane and thoroughly unforgettable Teri Horton.

A somewhat interesting story that, being inconclusive, would have worked better as a 10-20 minute news broadcast, rather than a 100 minute documentary. Boring, mildly repetitive, and ultimately not that enjoyable.
Harry H. gave it an8:
Great movie showing the huge divide between the world of art and the real world. I love how with a little passion and a whole lot of determination we are shown that no matter the odds, there is something worth fighting for, even if its a canvas covered in paint.
