Bob Ross: Happy Accidents, Betrayal & Greed

"Enlightening, entertaining and occasionally heart-rending..."

"The melancholy result is that the painter... remains a mystery; not the brand that’s made millions but the guy who touched millions."

"(Happy Accidents reflects) the difficulty of remembering such personalities in pastel-hued colors, especially when green enters the picture."

"Rofé's fleet documentary...has as many notable insights as a miniseries, all packed into 95 minutes..."

"It's loosely informative, rarely revelatory and, despite what the title might lead you to expect, never provocative."

"The frustrating thing about Happy Accidents is that the most bizarre and confusing parts of the story... are crammed into the film’s final minutes, and presented without much useful context."

"Messy..."

"The film makes the case that the Kowalskis bilked Ross’ family out of their share of money from Ross’ image and likeness, and steamrolled other artists and instructors... And it makes this case well."

"Ultimately a cooled celebration, one eager to acknowledge that gurus are complicated, showbiz is treacherous, and some landscapes hide things."
