Movie #250 "Georgia O'Keeffe" is a well acted study of the relationship of Georgia O'keeffe, the painter, and Alfred Stieglitz, the photographer, and how much influence he had in building her career, but how they just couldn't live with each other for long periods of time. The film is beautifully filmed and the characters are very complex as we watch her career build, then come to a screeching halt, and then rebuild again, this time in New Mexico. I highly recommend this quiet, but well done film biography of a very complex, creative individual ---Georgia O'Keeffe --- made me want to look her up more.
