I see a couple of other reviewers above have commented that this story is 'incomplete' or doesn't give us all the answers. How could it? Whether the painting is genuine is still uncertain.
What it does do, extremely well, is tell a fascinating story. Part 1 is about the painting's restoration and appraisal, Part 2 about its sale. But then there's a Part 3!
Finally, unlike so many films, it's the right length - not overlong.

Saw this at Tribeca Film Festival. Fascinating story with many twists. Recommended for everyone interested to know more about the (dark side of the) art world.
Documentary movie making at its best. The director & the writers did an amazing job in making such thrilling documentary. Drama, mystery, thriller, suspense all mixed in perfect proportion to make interesting & captivating from beginning to end. Well done.
History, intrigue, international politics, gorgeous art work and lots and lots of money are the ingredients for a fascinating tale well told.
Here is a documentary that plays like a mystery thriller. All the events navigate the discovery, sale, re-sale, auction sale, and disappearance of the most expensive painting of all time... 'Salvator Mundi' by (perhaps) Leonardo da Vinci. It is a fascinating, riveting story of art, restoration, lore, provenance, and astronomical financial power. It is superb.
