Honest Story of a Complicated Family
stevenpaulsavage28 August 2023
Ms Yousef was given the honor of being the opening film of our local film festival in Birmingham AL (Sidewalk, called out at best director for Everything All at Once). And for full disclosure, I was able to talk personally with the filmmaker (an amazing benefit of attending film festivals).

Art for Everyone is one of the cleanest documentaries I have seen in a long time. The way the filmmaker intertwines the stories of the wife and daughters mixed with art experts showed an intimacy that is difficult to capture.

I felt invested in all of the commenters the filmmaker chose to include.

No matter how you feel about the man's art, the film compels the audience to look beyond the product the artist was able to make.

Surprising and Incredible Story of Controversial Artist
RayMillsMedia16 October 2023
Whether you love the artist Thomas Kinkade or if you hated him, you will discover a side of him that you never knew existed, and it will surprise you and maybe even move you to compassion for him. This is an incredibly moving and honest documentary sans judgment that presents a very balanced view of the so-called Painter of Light. Thomas Kinkade is most definitely controversial in many, many ways, but the cooperation of his family in this film takes the story to levels that are surprising, sometimes shocking, but incredibly humanizing. This is easily one the best documentaries I have seen in years. Hopefully this will get picked up by one of the big streaming platforms and it will gain the wide audience it deserves.
