A celebrity auctioneer with a difficult personality, Geoffrey Rush, becomes intrigued by an unseen client who contracts him to value her household artefacts.
Rush is engaged in dubious, well actually downright fraudulent, practices and within the first ten minutes most viewers will guess that some sort of sting action is underway to bring about his downfall; the only question being how and when.
It takes an awfully long time to explain the answers to both questions and in the interim we have to endure a somewhat creepy love affair. 'The Best Offer' contains some interesting and occasionally beautiful moments but many will wonder if the journey was worthwhile.
