The critical consensus

A triumph of painstaking technical prowess and stunning visuals over storytelling and dialogue. See it for its nuanced take on a huge cultural figure and to applaud its astounding audacity.

As an exercise in style, Loving Vincent is of interest, but it doesn’t tell us that much about his work or his life.

***(*)(*)Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 10/10/2017

You can’t help but admire the sheer scope of the filmmakers’ vision and the painstaking way they went about crafting their tribute to Van Gogh.

****(*)Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent, 12/10/2017

A sensationalist approach to the artist’s final days which ultimately illuminates little.

**(*)(*)(*)Matt Thrift, Little White Lies, 13/10/2017

Visually intoxicating, painstakingly crafted animation exploring the death of Vincent van Gogh.

****(*)Eddie Harrison, The List, 13/10/2017ii

A poignant portrait of a revolutionary artist.
