First of all, your kid could not paint that. The question is whether their kid could either. Is even the most prodigious 4-year-old capable of such work? I join the director with my continuing doubt.
I think the film is equally illustrative about people's attitudes toward abstract art. And art in general. Can art be created by a child? Or an animal? Hmm... now that I think of it, I'd draw the line somewhere around gorilla finger paintings.
As a film that raises more questions than it answers, it serves it's purpose; though the toll taken on the subject family may not be worth the payoff.
