Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: C --
When all is revealed in "The Best Offer," the appropriate reaction is that of a frustrated auctioneer: "That's it? That's all you've got?"

Rating: 2.5/4 --
Italian writer-director Giuseppe Tornatore... designs beautiful sets around Virgil, who holds the screen in nearly every shot.

Rating: 5/10 --
The clues and themes laid out early on in The Best Offer, which evolve into heavy handedness in their own right, also lay unencumbered paths for obvious twists to come in this limp arthouse thriller.

We Got This Covered
THE BEST OFFER chisels a complicated intrigue out of an amorphous atmosphere of neurosis, wealth, and sophistication.
Hollywood Reporter
Tornatore’s ideas about art, trust and intimacy are curious...
Chicago Sun-Times
The film has several smart twists and surprises up its well-tailored sleeve.

Los Angeles Times
Tornatore lays on the symbolism a bit thickly, and the film's mix of accents offers a distinct whiff of Europudding. You will probably even see some of the twists coming. Yet the film is still terrifically compelling.

Product Description:
CINEMA PARADISO director Giuseppe Tornatore returns to the helm with this drama centered on a lonely antiques dealer who vies for the heart of a withdrawn heiress with help from his only friend, who teaches him how to gently coax her out of isolation. As far back as he can remember, antiques dealer Virgil Oldman has devoted all of his energy into his work. Now, at 63, Virgil's only acquaintance is a talented young restoration artist named Robert. When Virgil receives a call from a young woman who seeks his assistance in removing some works of art owned by her family, he offers his services and travels to the designated site to assess the situation. Strangely, the girl does not appear to accompany him as agreed. Likewise, she is mysteriously absent as he begins the daunting task of taking inventory, transporting, and restoring the pieces. Over time, her unwillingness to get involved in the process begins to frustrate the detail-oriented Virgil. But his fascination with the elusive girl gradually takes precedence over that frustration. Meanwhile, perceptive Robert seems acutely sympathetic to her paralyzing fear of stepping out into the real world, and begins to advise Virgil on how to help her overcome it. In the process, Virgil is filled with a lust for life that he has never felt before. Geoffrey Rush and Jim Sturgess star in a film featuring an original score by legendary composer Ennio Morricone.
