I was a little surprised by the low rating here, but then I dared to watch the film and was not disappointed.
The film may not be for everyone and will not appeal to a wide audience, but it will certainly be of interest to artists, gallerists and collectors. For people in the art world, there are a number of very accurate references to actual behaviour, so I found it deliciously entertaining. Certainly, this film falls into the realm of shallow entertainment, but that genre is fully justified: and in that it deserves a good rating. I found myself smiling a lot and feeling well entertained.
With this in mind, I have allowed myself to be moved to a more generous score of 9 points.
