This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.

This is How Movies Should Be Made

ridiculous rating

There is just so much movie here. For some it may be too much. But in the same secretly sarcastic way most telemarketers say the phrase, the title of this one is particularly apt.

This is the movie which make you thinking you cant judge things by looking somepart of it or the beginning of it. i wasn't really impressed at the beginning and suddenly BOOM!!! I feel sorry for myself underestimate this AWESOME MOVIES!! 10 is still an underrated to grade this FILM 100/10 !!

If there was a movie then it is the best offer what a great movie

I have mixed feelings/thoughts about "The Best Offer". I'm surprised by the number of people who said, that they could see the ending coming early on. Did they know, that this was supposed to be a caper/crime film ? I knew nothing about this and being raised on "Disney", most of the way through I fully expected this to be a sweet or possibly tragic love story. I found the "twist" at the end to be so abrupt, that it was confusing and seemed unfounded to me, based on what had gone before. I obviously didn't pick up any of the hints people say were so blatantAccepting the ending, I can see this film, as a psychological study of the power of emotion over intellect in a person's life. The main character, it seemed, had been running from emotion his entire life. To protect himself, as many of us do, from uncontrollable emotion, he adopted a very strong intellectual approach in his dealings with others. We see, that he hid a very strong vulnerability to romantic love, which displayed itself in his private gallery of women's portraits. "His" women were delicate, aesthetic works of art, with none of the inconvenient messiness of reality. I think, that he possibly had been raised on "Disney" princesses also. When, in the film, he met a woman, who piqued his intellectual interest, his defenses were lowered and he believed, that one of his fantasy women had manifested in physical reality. This left him vulnerable to his hidden emotional desires and in the film to his downfall and humiliation. If the aim of the film, was to show this character study, I think, that it needed to be more introspective and subtle and dispense with much of the melodrama and gimmicks, that it embraced. I found the "caper" plot, to be too intrusive and abrupt and in that, it overshadowed and preempted the man's inner struggle.This is why, I saw the film as being at odds with itself and thus a little "wonky". I found it very well done until the final scenes, which I found rushed and lacking in redemption a man of this intellectual capacity may have experienced. The art direction and cinematography were wonderful. The acting, especially by Geoffrey Rush was touching.

The Best Offer has surprisingly gotten mixed reviews: Roger Ebert (1.5/4), Rotten Tomatoes (56%), Metascore (49/100). I must give credit to IMDb for being the only reputable review site to find greatness in this film (7.8/10).A story of dark romance entwined in mystery with direction from Giuseppe Tornatore (his best work to date being this movie). Geoffrey Rush unsurprisingly gives a standout performance as a managing director of an auction house.The film opens as Oldman receives a call from a young heiress named Claire (Sylvia Hoeks), who wants him to sort through and appraise her parent's art and antique collections. He finds the situation very out of the ordinary because of how Claire refuses to meet in person, opting to handle business over the phone.It would ruin this experience if I were to offer any further details. I know it sounds incredibly dull given the premise above, but trust me and just watch this one. There are twists which are cleverly revealed. The performances are outstanding. The progression builds up in such an intelligent way as to make the final minutes that much better.I ultimately gave this a perfect rating because of how unexpected the ending was and how well it explained the progression of the entire film. It was one of those situations where you are left contemplating the cleverness of the writers and how surprised you were by the closing scenes. It was the same feeling I had after watching Split (James MacAvoy): "What just happened." Easily one of my favorite films of the last decade. Well worth your time. You won't regret watching this!----- 10/10 STARS -------- Review by Searsino -----
