The real star of the film is [subject Teri] Horton, whose straight-talking ways and supportive circle of friends are a stark contrast to the haughty insults of academia.

Who the $#%& Is Jackson Pollock? doesn't really answer the titular question, but it mesmerizes in its attempt.

Fascinatingly ambiguous tale and bizarre cast of characters make it one of the more entertaining documentaries in recent memory.

The movie is an entertaining stroll through a colorful gallery of characters including, in villain mode, former Metropolitan Museum of Art director Thomas Hoving.

For the film, the verdict is beside the point. Moses uses the plucky Horton's battle to make an oblique argument about class, and his target is the art-world Goliath.

Harry Moses' entertaining documentary portrays the debate between connoisseurship and science as a culture war.

Who needs a piercingly satiric mockumentary when you have this lively documentary's broad, real-life personalities?

While the forensics is marginally interesting, the most arresting piece of the film is Horton herself, as she asks of the art world, 'Who the hell do they think they are?'
