The Painter and the Thief (out Mar 25) is an interesting Norwegian documentary about an artist who has two paintings stolen from her gallery. When the perpetrators are arrested, she befriends one of them and brings him into her life. There's much to reflect upon here. It has something to say about forgiveness, drug addictions, mental health and the power of art. Grade: B+.
