Wonderful Movie
Waste of time
If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.
This story is about a very emotionally constricted art expert and auctioneer (Geoffrey Rush) and the bizarre woman he falls in love with who won't allow ANYONE to see her through much of the movie."The Best Offer" is a difficult film to describe. Suffice to say it's one where what you see and hear may not be exactly what is happening....something I like very much in a film. It kept me guessing and only near the end did I really understand much of the story. In addition, the acting was very good and the director did a lovely job setting the mood with the lighting, camera work and music. Overall, a very lovely film with an ending that was depressing but clever.
Whoa! Elegant, could be, might have been, might be happening somewhere in the world now. Movie has an elegance and grace that contrasts sharply with the ending Great "who done it to who"? Will not be saying more,except, that the popcorn eating stopped about 1/2 way through. There is always something authentic concealed in every forgery.
this movie had a real good impression on me,it had that classical yet warm touch,including the use of art,what power do paintings have on human beings ,the use of that kind of quiet and classical music was perfect too and how love does not know limits and the huge power it has on us humans,it felt great living it throughout this film in the beginning but the consequences were not expected at all,however,this movie was one of a kind,the cast was perfect,Geoffrey Rush ,i doubt he was acting at all in first place,his performance was outstanding.
This isn't a movie about mind-blowing plot twists or head-scratching mysteries. Those elements are there but subtly. It was genius how the director got the audience so intrigued and interested not in what would happen next, but more about how do characters feel like, their development and depth.The story is of Mr. Oldman the prestigious cold world-famous art-expert. Who isn't the biggest fan of human relationships, only taking pleasure in his still antique portraits. But this slowly unfolds very interestingly, and not in a cliché expected manner.What truly impressed me, is the third act with its major surprise; is that there was zero interest in the walk-through of how it all worked out up until this point, your usual go-to technique to explain a plot twist, instead, only the surprise was stated and instead focusing on the psychological aftermath of the protagonist which perfectly goes in tune with the atmosphere of the movie which is a deep look into the psych of a malcontent old man.
