Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

The Best Offer (2014)

Respected European appraiser and auctioneer is asked to provide a valuation for the antiques and artwork filling a villa left to a young woman after the death of her parents. She stands him up for the appraisal, which both enrages and intrigues him. It seems that no one has seen her in years as she suffers not only from agoraphobia, but from being viewed at all. As the pair slowly gain each other's trust, it becomes clear that there's more at stake than just an auction gig.

This reminded me strongly of The Spanish Prisoner, which is a high compliment. Kept me wondering what was going to happen next.
