In their concern to keep the viewers interested, [the directors] have built an over-narrated and spirit-dampening movie in which the preponderance of the dialogues hinders the viewers’ immersion into the violent beauty and materiality of Van Gogh’s oeuvre

| Original Score: 2/5 | Jan 21, 2025

Loving Vincent invites us to observe his images as if they were paintings in motion or tableaux vivants through an extraordinary work of realization. It achieves Van Gogh's objective by touch others through his art, placing us in constant contemplation.

| Original Score: 9/10 | Jan 14, 2024

In one of the most interestingly animated films in quite some time, "Loving Vincent" paints a beautiful and complex picture of tortured artist Vincent Van Gogh. It's a stunning achievement that boggles the mind, but the final result is beautiful.

| Original Score: 7/10 | May 19, 2022

Loving Vincent is so visually rich, even intoxicating, that you can just turn off your brain (and perhaps the soundtrack of voice actors) and experience full sensory overload watching the extraordinary animation craftsmanship at work.

On this aspect of van Gogh's life and on his social and aesthetic concerns, the film is weak. If Loving Vincent encourages people to investigate the painter's life and work, that is all to the good.

| Feb 21, 2021

An animated film that moves and breathes and vibrates with life. It's a singular achievement that may come up short in the writing, but never lets us down as a visual feast.

Even though the storyline falters, I'd still watch it again. Maybe on mute with a solo piano soundtrack.

One can certainly appreciate the effort put into the making of Loving Vincent, but film is a different medium and requires a more holistic approach than just pretty pictures.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 5, 2020

Overall, Loving Vincent comes across as a homage to the artist, and complemented by Clint Mansell's score, it is truly beguiling.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 12, 2019

Equal parts cinematic drug trip and visual artistry, Loving Vincent represents a landmark in the genre.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Oct 18, 2019

The filmmakers took their subject very seriously and have created a beautifully unique colorful creation that is enthralling.

Loving Vincent is a bit like "Starry Night." It's simple, it's soothing, yet somehow it's unlike anything you've ever seen before.

| Sep 11, 2019

It's beautiful and rare, capable of stimulating our retinas and aesthetic sensitivities as very few feature films can. [Full Review in Spanish]

| Aug 1, 2019

A nearly unforgivable missed opportunity in bringing van Gogh's paintings to life only to relegate the artist to the past tense.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jul 20, 2019

The paintings are arresting, even mesmerizing, but what's going on beneath them just isn't particularly interesting.

| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Jun 4, 2019

This wonderful film is an ambitious undertaking but it succeeds marvelously.

| Original Score: 5/5 | Apr 26, 2019

The hand-painted tribute to Vincent van Gogh is a stunning achievement!

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Mar 9, 2019

Loving Vincent left me in awe of Van Gogh's talents but also saddened by his troubled life. I think most artistic genius are tortured souls and he's definitely one of them.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Mar 2, 2019

Not only a visual triumph - a bittersweet narrative, beautiful music from Clint Mansell and a cracking cast complete the package.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Feb 22, 2019

In the right hands, this mystery approach could have been interesting.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Feb 6, 2019
