I was enjoying it until she opened the business cards saying CHEIF CURATOR. Lost me after that.

Boring....and ended up as background noise

I thought this one might be interesting since it was centered around art instead of psycho cheerleaders or the usual Lifetime fare, but this did not keep my interest. I found myself having to rewind the movie after realizing that I zoned out for a spell. I agree that the ending was a joke. If I understood it right, they were endorsing the guy's paintings that he tried to scam people with? Even though they showed he was talented...if that's accurate, that's a bad message.
Watchable

Not very good direction and editing and the continuity is below par
I don't know if the budget didn't allow for many takes for the Editor to play with but it was rather put together with sharp endings to many scenes
One example is when the boss was eating a doughnut at the beginning he would have it in one hand and during cutback he would have it in the other
Not a bad storyline though and the film work looks quite ok
Just my opinion

15/20 minutes in.
The lead goes to a barn full of pictures to appraise for action man !
Instead of diving in as you probably would though, being keen and eager she can hardly be heard speaking and looks scared to touch anything.
Was glad Lacey was removed from the picture so early as her non acting ability and annoying high pitched voice was annoying.
Had to give it 1 as there is no ability to give minus marks.
Appraises paintings by the eye. No dating using modern technology?

"A Gifted, Disturbed Genius"
lavatch23 January 2021
Warning: Spoilers
The expression "a gifted, disturbed genius" is used in "The Art of Murder" to describe the mercurial Daniel Sutter, a carpenter and a handyman, who has inherited a collection of art works from his grandfather. The centerpiece of the collection is what appears to be a newly discovered painting of Johannes Vermeer. But is the work authentic?
At the heart of the drama is the curator Kate Miller, who works at the modest Robert Krell art gallery that is struggling to break even. Robert's father Frank had started the operation before his death, and his widow Heley Krell exerts her formidable presence on the operation and her son Robert.
When the sharp-eyed Kate first sees the alleged Vermeer painting, she is stunned with its apparent authenticity. But her research suggests that Daniel's story about his grandfather's acquisition of the work in postwar Belgium does not add up. The World War II soldier Nathaniel Hawthorne Sutter was evidently never present in Belgium in the aftermath of the war. As Kate becomes enmeshed with Daniel romantically, his erratic conduct raises even greater suspicions.
The filmmakers were successful in generating dramatic tension in the story of the painting and in the odd assortment of characters, including the jovial art "authenticator," Ben Upchurch. It will be up to the quick-thinking Kate to ultimately determine the provenance of the painting and the truth about "a gifted, disturbed genius."
