The gorgeous locales, Dafoe’s impassioned and affecting portrayal, the exquisite piano chords from Tatiana Lisovskaya score all work together to help us see things as Vincent sees them.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Aug 19, 2022

Mixes fact and fiction to provide a look at Van Gogh's tortured mental state during his final years.

| Original Score: 3/4 | May 16, 2022

At Eternity's Gate is a dreamlike work of art.

| Oct 22, 2021

At once austere and avant-garde the camera layers the pictures we see while it presents a subtle visual texture of what it could be like to find the world as van Gogh did.

| Original Score: 82/100 | Sep 3, 2021

You can feel the heat rising off of Van Gogh's palms but they stay swimming in search of something the film can't quite ever grab ahold of.

| Jul 2, 2021

Finds Willem Dafoe pulling off an acting tour de force as the deteriorating, emotionally and mentally unstable artist.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 9, 2021

...there is no lack of good additional actors wasted in nothing roles (Mads Mikkelsen, Mathieu Amalric, Emmanuelle Seigner, etc.). But this ugly, affected, tedious and exasperating film lets them all down...

| Apr 2, 2021

A two-hour master class in subjective storytelling.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 29, 2021

At Eternity's Gate is suffused with breathtaking beauty and stands as an original look at the internal life of the painter.

| Feb 17, 2021

I didn't love this film, but I admired its goal and was blown away by Dafoe's dedication.

Shnabel knows how to tell us the story of this painter through a special lens that moves as his thoughts change [Full Review in Spanish]

| Sep 19, 2020

This is a huge and very unusual swing and a miss of a movie that, in terms of telling the Van Gogh story, makes less emotional impact than that excellent Doctor Who episode.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 16, 2020

[W]hile this particular effort has its atypicalities, it's too self-conscious in design and execution to be as idiosyncratic as it thinks it is.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 25, 2020

It's an internal film that lives inside the mind of Van Gogh. Like the film itself, it's a strange, but beautiful, place to be.

| Jul 24, 2020

At Eternity's Gate is in awe of its own subject

| Original Score: 6/10 | Jul 18, 2020

Dafoe is mesmerising as Van Gogh; Schnabel delivers some masterful strokes but the emptiness can become quite deafening.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Jul 13, 2020

The movie at times dives too deeply into Schnabel's personal take on Van Gogh, but it's worth sitting through these indulgences to watch Dafoe just devour this role.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jul 7, 2020

A window to the soul of a genius and a meditation on the relationship between nature, art, and eternity. [Full review in Spanish]

| Jul 7, 2020

At Eternity's Gate seemed to have been shot through the grimmest Instagram filter, a mournful elegy and a long whine that Philistines don't understand the True Nature Of Art. It's abstract and exclusive.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 29, 2020

Besides Schnabel's truly poetic direction, Dafoe's reliably great performance and Benoît Delhomme's soulful photography deserve to be singled out.
