Based on the bestselling novel by Tracy Chevalier, this absorbing drama centres around the creation of the famous painting of the same name by 17th century Dutch master Johannes Vermeer. Though no one knows the true story of the life of the girl in the portrait for certain, the film creates an engaging story of who she might well have been. Scarlett Johansson, who bears a striking resemblance to the girl, is excellent in this compelling and visually beautiful film.
