Since the case remains unsolved, the film lacks a true ending, but it finds some wonderful personalities along the way.

In March of 1990, two thieves dressed as Boston police officers gained entrance to the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum in Boston Massachusetts and successfully executed the largest art heist in modern history. Among the thirteen priceless works stolen was Vermeer's "The Concert" one of only 35 of the masters surviving works. Not a single one of the works has been recovered. STOLEN is a full exploration of the Gardner theft, and the fascinating, disparate characters involved: from the 19th century Grand dame Isabella Gardner to a private detective obsessed with finding the art to a terrorist organization with a penchant for stealing Vermeers.

Reviews for Stolen
It's like racing through a detective novel, only to find the last page has been torn out.
A haunting and expansive documentary about the search for the precious paintings stolen in 1990 from Boston’s Isabella Stewart Gardner museum.
The doc prioritizes flash over facts, leaving you pining for the New Yorker exposé it could've been.
Stolen provides a treasure trove of outrageous characters, rampant speculation, personal obsessions and a glimpse into the rarefied world of art collecting.
A docu that should appeal not just to the legion of Vermeer fans, but to lovers of good mystery.
