Morgan Neville’s documentary succeeds as a study of women's ability to drive the story and intellectual autonomy. It effectively challenges the cliché of the female artist as a mere muse. By centering O'Keeffe's intellectual independence, the film critiques early 20th-century gender hierarchies. However, the film's scope is narrow. Focusing on a white modernist, it lacks racial diversity and perspectives that reflect multiple aspects of identity regarding the indigenous cultures of the Southwest. This creates a significant imbalance in the narrative's cultural breadth. Ultimately, the work is a progressive deconstruction of social norms. While it lacks diversity in its subject matter, its thematic focus on individual liberation provides a sophisticated critique of traditional social structures.
