Title: Brilliant silence thriller!
Review: I thoroughly enjoyed it; such masterful storytelling.This movie serves as a lesson that dishonesty and greed can cause our own demise, and that emotions can be contrived, particularly love, because it is the greatest tool used for entrapment.In as much as the auctioneer (Virgil) was conning buyers in his auction scheme to acquire these valuable paintings, he failed to realize that he could also be the recipient of a scheme.The watch repair chap (Robert) was a brilliant con man, because he used Virgilâs greatest desire against him, which was his curiosity and intrigue for complex objects. Once Virgil was drawn to the complexity of Claire, he became carelessly intrigued and unwittingly foolish.I am not sure which is worse, a young woman using her femininity to scam an elderly man or an elderly man who shamelessly lusts for a young woman old enough to be his daughter.Poor man, he lost all these women (the paintings) he possessed for many years because of his foolish attraction to one he could not possess.

Title: Impressive original story
Review: I might have thought this was slow at times but I would have been wrong. I had great expectations when I saw the writer also was the director and they were exceeded by far! It is best not to try to describe this story but just to know that it has a great cast and it is very successful in telling its highly unusual tale!

Title: Worth the time investment!
Review: The plot is fairly predictable, but the acting and direction make this movie worth the wait and investment. Excellent acting all around. There are a few holes in the plot but if you can look past those, you are surely to enjoy the well thought out scam. I'd watch it again, just to enjoy the investment of the actors in making this come to life.

Title: Riveting English thriller ^^
Review: I could have sworn that Roman Polanski himself directed this film. The film has very Polanski and almost Lynch-like feel to it.A bit predictable, yet the film manages to keep you guessing till the vary last minute. A keen observant can foresee the ending because the director keeps on dropping clues throughout the movie as what is "really" going on. Geoffrey Rush is a remarkable actor, his face characteristic look very peculiar, I can only think of another actor with similar facial features and that is Gerard Depardieu.About the film:Virgil Oldman (Rush) is an eccentric introvert, who is a well known and praised English art collector and auctioneer.His distrust of people and arrogant nature lead him to have only two friends. One of them is an old artist (Sutherland) who frequents auction house where our hero works, and another one is a young artificer/fixer-upper (Strugess) to whom Virgil goes for all kinds of help. Virgil's life changes drastically when one day he is asked to appraise art collection of a young woman whose parents recently passed away and left her an old mansion with bunch of old art and furniture. The young woman suffers from a strange human-phobia. She locks herself in a room and refuses to be seen by anyone. This intrigues our hero to the point of obsession...

Title: Geoffrey Rush ... Great Actor ... Superb Acting ... ALL THE TIME!!!!
Review: I would like to think Geoffrey or Mr. Rush (less intimate) might read this some day and wonder, "is this Melvin a woman or a man" - seek me out at Café Marly ... Sir, you acting skills have always impressed me, but with your latest BEST OFFER ... WOW! WOW! WOW!I'm stunned to find in the midst of other garbage coming from the film industry to find this rare gem, priceless antique; however, I must go on record that unlike some of the other viewers who rated this movie - the storyline, for me, was "foreshadowing" - you'd have to be an idiot if you didn't catch on by the cell phone call "she" received.I am more forgiving with BEST OFFER - because it is at the end of the movie when a viewer can say to one's self "yes, I feel your pain, I have been there and I WOULD DO EXACTLY THE SAME THING. Be honest people, if you have ever had your heart broken - I mean truly broken - you are at the table with Mr. Rush doing the only thing you know to do. BRAVO!!!!!!People, this is great acting, this is a great story - this is WHY WE LOVE MOVIES!!!!!!!
