The Kansas City Star
The film begins with Kansas City native George Anthony Morton creating paintings in the style of classic artists like Rembrandt. And then it quickly segues to a scene showing him bonding his mother out of the Johnson County jail in Olathe. Those opposing forces are the running theme in the new 90-minute documentary “Master of Light” — that push to escape a tumultuous Kansas City upbringing and the pull that threatens to draw Morton back into chaos.
