Thomas Kinkade’s pastoral landscapes made him the most collected and despised painter of all time. After his shocking death, his family discovers a vault of unseen paintings that reveal a complex artist whose life and work embody our divided America.

A New York Times Critic's Pick

  • "Well structured, meticulously researched and revealing, even for a Kinkade-jaded viewer like me."

    - NYTimes, Critics Pick

  • "Miranda Yousef, in her feature directing debut, deftly takes on Kinkade’s timely and intriguing story in the documentary “Art for Everybody,” an absorbing, smartly assembled portrait of the mega rise and tragic fall of the Jekyll-and-Hyde-like artist."

    - LA Times

  • "Yousef’s illuminating doc appeals to all sides, from Kinkade’s haters to his most ardent defenders, revealing dimensions altogether absent from his enormously popular oeuvre."

    - Variety

  • "A thoroughly fascinating documentary about a family discovering the depth and complexity of their patriarch while coming to terms with his flaws."

    - Roger Ebert.com

  • One of BBC Culture’s “10 best films of 2025”

    - BBC Culture

  • Doc Talk co-host John Ridley says the film “jumps to the head of the line” of documentaries released this year, declaring, “I was just blown away by it.”
