This film was very intriguing until I realized they were scamming the old man. I found that upsetting.

Art is not determined by how an artist holds the brush, rather, what is envisioned even before choosing the canvas. The vision was minimalistic yet widened as the movie progressed. Character development, relationships, as well as the plot's twist. In the end, the canvas reflected a fine work of art. You have to see it to believe it!

This movie was one of the best I have seen in a long time. I thought it was fantastic! I had not a clue what would happen next. It left me speechless.

It is a great piece with a nice plot. The part where the paintings were gone was so shocking

Tornatore try to deceive us as in the same way as other of his previous films (I am thinking of "Cinema Paradiso", for instance). The cover is amazing: art, beauty, the passing of time, etc. But the problem with this stylish thriller-drama is its “cinéphilie”: it is too heavily influenced by Hitchcock, and especially his masterpiece “Vertigo” . Rush is awesome in his role –as quite always–, the girl is not as astonishing, but the best part for me, besides Rush’s, was Jim Sturgess. It is a well-made film to spend some good time… and then forget.

Any movie starring Geoffrey Rush is worth a look, but this one is littered with Euro art movie cliches, preposterous characters and situations, and a "mysterious" heroine who's so very annoying it's impossible to see why Rush's character finds her so alluring. You'll figure out the big plot twist (and groan at the ludicrous plot holes) long before Rush's supposedly smart character does. Mediocrity masquerading as cleverness. An exasperating fail.

A beautifully crafted film - highly recommend!

Seriously amazing movie I absolutely love it, it had art that you can possible imagine, tragic love story, and when you think you understand the whole movie you are sadly mistaken and it has some scenes in there but in my opinion it's pretty much a clean movie in my opinion

What a surprisingly good movie that flew under the radar. I was entranced from the start til the end. The ending was not quite what I was expecting, and would have wished for a better more elaborate closing. Worth every dollar I paid to rent this.

Erg genoten van deze film. Een meesterwerk. Sylvia H. speelt fantastisch! Ook complimenten voor de rest van de cast. Geweldig!
