This is a fairly familiar europudding of a film, set in the art world as a critic (played by Claes Bang from "The Square" and Netflix's Dracula, so you know early on he's dodgy) is called in to help a collecter (played by Jagger in very much a "I'm just popping over from my lake Como house, I'll be back at the end of the movie to wrap things up" way) get a painting from an elusive master (Donald Sutherland playing a sweetie pie). Elizabeth Debicki gets the short straw as Bang's lust interest and she never really gets the full character arc the writing seems to try to convince us she's going to get. It's the usual things about art as a metaphor for truth and forgery and inward honesty and it's all fairly familiar stuff.
