It Was All So Wonderful: The Everyday Magic of Mary Pratt (2019)
Feminist painter or traditional housewife? Displaced and isolated, Mary Pratt’s life was a highly complicated one of delicate rebellion. Award-winning filmmaker Kenneth J Harvey (Immaculate Memories: The Uncluttered Worlds of Christopher Pratt) reconstructs Mary Pratt's life from archival footage dating back to the 1950s, tracking Mary's development over time, while capturing her gentle humour, strength, beauty of spirit, and fascination with objects in the home, which she embraced and glorified, deeply touching and inspiring countless women through her artwork.

Did you people see the same film I saw?
The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
The acting is good, and the firecracker script has some excellent ideas.
It is encouraging that the film ends so strongly.Otherwise, it wouldn't have been a particularly memorable film
