My Kid Could Paint That (2007)
Direction: Amir Bar-Lev
&#160; 

&#160; 

By Dan Schneider of Cosmoetica:
In a real sense,  the 83-minute  documentary  My Kid Could Paint That is one of  the most disgusting films of all time. It disgusts because 

a) it so vividly displays  the utter nonsense and stupidity of the modern art scamming that has gone on  for the last half century or more (especially in Abstract Expressionism) &#8212; and  that’s a good thing; and 
b) it so vividly displays the exploitation of an  innocent child, Marla Olmstead, to  meet the personal and psychological demands and needs of her Mark and Laura &#8212; and that’s a bad thing.
