It offers some landscape shots with a tropical exoticism, but overall, I get the feeling that the surface of the misunderstood artist is barely painted and there is almost no space on the canvas to get to know him. [Full review in Spanish]

The film does not delve into the social and political aspect of the moment, leaving it in the hands of the viewer [Full Review in Spanish]

This first journey to Tahiti was not without its own considerable hardships, but during it he created some of his greatest works.

| Oct 15, 2020

Such shonky rewriting of history - simply to bolster seductive notions of the artist as some kind of intrepid adventurer of the creative spirit - amounts to nothing more than a cynical confidence trick.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Aug 11, 2020

[It] offers a superficial interpretation of this complex artist, and does not contribute much to a genuine appreciation and understanding of Gauguin or his times.

This biopic might be uneven, but it's thought-provoking nonetheless.

| Mar 23, 2020

Its focus is not instead on the art, but on the lead's romantic escapades. In the end, the movie offers only simplistic ideas about how art and artists work.

| Feb 14, 2020

The film is too brief to be revelatory and is not the virtual museum experience it appears to aspire to, but does serve as a strong introduction to the artist for the uninitiated and offers a deeper dive into Gauguin's portraiture.

| Jan 20, 2020

We get a good sense of Guaguin's mindset but regrettably, through an uneventful and monotonous narrative. An uninspired trip.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Jun 11, 2019

If you want to see Vincent Cassel give a great performance, this is the film. [Full Review in Spanish]

[Director Edouard] Deluc... takes advantage of Vincent Cassel 's expressiveness (Irreversible, The Black Swan). [Full review in Spanish]

An ideal film for lovers of visual arts that shows different layers of Gauguin's personality. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 7/10 | Oct 17, 2018

[Director] Edouard Deluc... does not go beyond the usual hagiographic profile of an artist misunderstood by the world he lived in. [Full review in Spanish]

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Oct 5, 2018

Paul Gauguin's Tahitian paintings helped to forge in the West an imaginary of the southern seas as the territory of the getaway. [Full Review in Spanish]

Deluc and his three cowriters acknowledge the postcolonial thorniness of the situation, yet they fail to explore it.

| Sep 25, 2018

Deluc's trouble begins with an adapted screenplay which seems more inclined towards a travelogue.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Aug 25, 2018

Gauguin: Voyage to Tahiti is mixed emotional experience that greatly excels in some areas, though ultimately doesn't quite go as far as it should.

| Original Score: 6.5/10 | Jul 31, 2018

... glosses over Gauguin's character flaws as an apparent sympathy ploy, and also lacks sufficient insight into the creative process.
