The Last Vermeer is a 2019 American drama film directed by Dan Friedkin from a screenplay by John Orloff (under the pen name James McGee), Mark Fergus, and Hawk Ostby. It is based on the 2008 book The Man Who Made Vermeers by Jonathan Lopez, and tells the story of Han van Meegeren (played by Guy Pearce), an art forger who swindles millions of dollars from the Nazis, alongside Dutch Resistance fighter Joseph Piller (Claes Bang).

The film had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival on August 31, 2019, and was theatrically released in the United States on November 20, 2020, by Sony Pictures Releasing

Brilliant performance from Guy Pearce and an excellently staged court case keeps the movie afloat in an otherwise mostly undecided story where neither the friendship between Pearce and an equally good Claes Bang is explored nor are these characters given enough depth to root for them. It also unevenly paced and thankfully comes alive during the court cases.
