There’s an archival clip towards the end where Ms. O’Keeffe holds a bone up to the sky, rotates it, and watches as the dark shadow plays across the white bone. That one clip shows the potential of what this film could have been. It could have been meditative, mystical, abstract, beautiful—like Georgia O’Keeffe herself. Instead, this is the most boring possible version of this movie: a chronological talking-head Wikipedia slideshow with a fire hose of split-screen images. For someone who loved solitude, this film has so much talking. For someone so mysterious, this film offers so many answers. I wish we could have sat with some interesting questions instead. I can relate to her “muddy puddle” feeling, that’s how I felt walking out of this.
