While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

The film's called 'Deception', so you know going in that nothing will be what it seems. Unfortunately, as so little happens, the twist is completely predictable, which removes any suspense from the story. Geoffrey Rush is nonetheless transfixing and excels in this role. The film is way too long and slow, but it's watchable despite this.

The success of this type of movie depends on how satisfying the final resolution is and in this case I thought more could have been made of it. But Geoffrey Rush is always brilliant to watch and Jim Sturgess is very good also. Great production values for a movie set in the world of art and antiques. Good to see Donald Sutherland too.

I saw this movie a long time ago and saw it again on cable just yesterday. I'm just a simple movie goer and enjoyer, among all these connoisseurs. I can only say that I loved this movie in all its glory and flaws, I do not stop to ponder and consider every single detail cause I do not work for the Academy and I ignore all the technicalities that go into making a film. But this film went deep into my soul and moved me.

Written and directed by one of the famous Italian filmmaker, Giuseppe Tornatore. An English language film, Geoffrey Rush in the lead. It was about an aging art and antique auctioneer, Virgil. The story reveals his final days in his professional field where he meets a young woman who pursued him for her inherited antiques to put on auction. The woman is very mysterious, because of her medical condition and how they both become so close despite their initial meetings were disastrous is the remaining film to tell us with a twist in the final.It was an awesome storytelling. The screenplay was the top notch and the matching background score. Especially when the story ends and credits rolls up, all those memories from the film keeps us fresh with that music. The music won several awards for the film. I liked the story, but towards the end, I kind of predicted almost everything. That did not stop me, so I enjoyed it thoroughly. Particularly the theme of the film, which I think a bit fresh, and I liked the conclusion as well, but I feel it should have been different or more to it. The way it ended might disappoint some people, but still it is very smart.Everybody was good, but it was Geoffrey Rush, who stole the show with his stellar performance. Three years might be a little late, but it's never too late to watch a fine film like this. One of the best suspense films from the recent time, it is a must see, particularly if you are seeking a good entertainment. So I hope you watch it if you're not yet.8/10
