Movie Reviews

2UE That Movie Show - 10/10 by Blake HowardTHE BEST OFFER is a cinematic palimpsest in the vein of Hitchcock's VERTIGO. Perfectly crafted performances, inescapable choral echoes of Morricone's wondrous score, the perfect forgery awaits, and begs to be revisited again and again.
Movie Talk - 9/10 by Jason BestTornatore 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.
Chicago Reader - 9/10 by Ben SachsThe movie's an eyeful, though, thanks to the intricate production design and many artworks on display; it's also an earful, thanks to Ennio Morricone's fittingly lush score.
Los Angeles Times - 9/10 by Gary GoldsteinThe film has several smart twists and surprises up its well-tailored sleeve.
The Daily Review/Crikey - 8/10 by Luke BuckmasterThe correlation between art fakery and romantic fraudulence is a tantalising bow to draw but Tornatore's focus lies with more conventional deceptions.
Flicks.co.nz - 8/10 by Aaron YapThe very things that make The Best Offer such a sublime delight are also the same things that would cripple its narrative if closely scrutinised.
Urban Cinefile - 8/10 by Andrew L. UrbanThe machinery is all too exposed in this disappointing work from a great filmmaker; none of it rings true ... and that's not about what isn't meant to ring true
Miami Herald - 8/10 by Connie OgleScreenwriter/director Tornatore is best known for his nostalgic "Cinema Paradiso," which won the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar in 1990. But The Best Offer is completely different in style and tone; it’s dark instead of light, a psychological thriller of sorts, only with Virgil’s heart and orderly life in peril instead of his life.
The Playlist - 8/10 by Jessica KiangStrangely old-fashioned in its construction and requiring a Golden Gate-level feat of engineering to achieve the suspension of disbelief necessary to unironically enjoy it.
The Dissolve - 7/10 by Andrew LapinBetween its erotic underpinnings and increasingly preposterous third-act reveals, the film could easily pass for middle-grade Hitchcock. Since its premise is that forgeries can still have value, that’s a high compliment.
