It will fascinate art lovers as well as 20th century history buffs.

Pearce gives one of the best performances of his career, investing Van Meegeren with a quicksilver charm and the kind of confidence that can be acquired only through a lifetime of subterfuge.

Based on a true story, but they take tremendous liberties there...a film full of grandstanding moments that are entirely made up, but I enjoyed it as that, rather than it trying to be anything else...

The Last Vermeer wastes good actors and an intriguing true story on a poor narrative structure.
