Pollock the artist is certainly one of the intriguing characters of 20th century art. Pollock the man did not have a very intersting life - he was poor and success avoided him for a while, than he met that woman, he drunk a lot, became famous, his ego inflated, etc... He was not Picasso, with all due respect, on any plan. 'Pollock' the film is well acted and respectfully directed, but the subject is simply not interesting enough to make it a piece of art by itself. Movie fans have many more entertaining options, and art fans better go to the museum to see the real thing. 7/10 on my personal scale, mainly thanks to Ed Harris fine performance.
