«Lifetime's biopic on Georgia O'Keeffe is a lot like one of that great artist's paintings: quiet and peaceful at first, but explosive if you stick with it.The first half of the film revolves around Georgia's life in New York City, where she initially captured the eye of the art community. It starts in 1916 when Georgia (Joan Allen) meets the older Alfred Stieglitz (Jeremy Irons), a talented photographer, who was showcasing some of her drawings at his gallery in New York. We see how Georgia's blunt honesty fascinated the married Stieglitz who would offer her a place to live in the city and not only lead to an affair but the destruction of his marriage and then their own marriage. His wandering eye lead to problems of their own and her move to Mexico where the naturally beauty of the surroundings captured her imagination. Georgia spends most of her remaining life there and this state had an even greater impact on her artwork. The director does do a great job in changing the tone of the film and in an instant, Georgia's world is brighter. She awakes to wide, open country and, to a small degree, we can see that New Mexico was rejuvenating for her. And then there are the performances with Joan Allen and Jeremy Irons doing a fantastic job of making these characters feel real.»
