I heard about this movie from a friend and was not to keen on watching it, but I was pleasantly surprised. It is a very good movie. Scarlett Johansson is wonderful, as is Colin Firth as Vermeer. Watching this movie made me want to know more about the artist Vermeer. Definately a must see, especially if you like art!

Some might find this movie a little slow, but I enjoyed it. It was true to the book, which I read and enjoyed immensely. I especially liked the depiction of life in the 17th century, and the relationship between the servant class and their employers. I did feel they could have spent more time building Scarlett Johannsson's character before she began her employment in Vermeer's home.

I can understand that for some people this historical fiction is way too slow, and that there is no big climax to satisfy the emotional rollercoaster people. However it is a very nice sensitive piece with good casting and good acting. Beautiful historical set too. Scarlet Johansson was perfect for this role and I've been her fan since Ghost World. Not for everyone certainly but it is a good movie.

The ending could've been better, not too bad of a movie, if you like those types of movies.

I love the painting. The movie...well, it was rather disjointed and a bit slow in places. The ending was apparently just where they decided to stop.

I cant stress this enough, I could've read the story in a pamphlet as oppose to watching the movie.

It was good...somewhat. Scarlet Johanson was captivating in her role. I just don't think this should have been made into a movie. Nothing happened really except the making of the famous painting.

Aaron S.

Too slow for many, but highly enjoyable for those that can keep up with it.

my wife did not like it so much, but I thought it was very good. I really liked Scarlett Johansen. The directing has some very subtle emotions performed via facial expressions.
