ashley R @oasheyy Aug 16, 2026 Loving Vincent is genuinely one of the most perspective changing films I have ever seen. It’s such a touching movie, and the fact that it’s fully painted is also insane. Absolutely love.

See more Leprechaun K @LeprechaunKing Jun 20, 2026 Each frame is beautifully painted by hand, but the fictional plot takes away from the viewing experience. The film is better off with a focus on the work and life of Vincent Van Gogh, as suggested by its title. It is still one of its kind and enjoyable to watch, but it can be so much better. See more Henry D @Henry_Domke Jun 13, 2026 Creative, moving, entertaining, brief, and unique. What a great concept, a film about Van Gogh that is itself a work of art. The painted animation was mesmerizing, but it never felt like a gimmick. It made the film beautiful to look at and a pleasure to watch from beginning to end. I also enjoyed knowing that one of the directors, Dorota Kobiela, is a Polish woman and painter. See more Kenny B @Audiblekbrad Feb 15, 2026 Watching a live action van gogh painting, pretty wild.

The art style was stunning and very creative, turning Vincent Van Gogh's paintings into animation. It's insane that this was all hand painted by a hundred talented artists. I liked all the cool transitions of the scene shifting from one famous painting into another with different parts of the placed Van Gogh had been. I'll admit, I would've preferred this wonderful animation style to be used for a more straightforward narrative that focused solely on showing us Van Gogh's life rather than other people telling us about his life. However, the narrative they frame with the townsfolk all having different takes on Vincent provides an heartfelt commentary on the fluidity of truth and people, based on the perspectives of others. Nice touch of turning his portraits into characters talking about the mystery of his tragic death. Admittedly, the dialogue can sometimes be a bit simplistic and on-the-nose. The voice acting could also be slightly wooden at times. But the overall narrative still does a solid job capturing the essence of Vincent Van Gogh with his relatable struggles of depression and struggling to find a stable career until he escapes through art at the age of 28. It's crazy how in only 6 years of painting, he crafted so many masterpieces and only sold one in his lifetime, despite his monumental posthumous fame and legacy. The film's decision to create a fictionalized story of an investigation of the whereabouts of Van Gogh's death and how his relationships might've influenced was intriguing for people not too familiar with his life. I absolutely adored the gorgeous and tearjerking cover version of Don McLean's Vincent (Starry, Starry Night) song for the end credits that genuinely moved me. The movie is a mesmerizing oil canvas building the puzzle of Van Gogh's beautiful artwork pushing through his emotional low self-esteem, even after death. It's a tragedy he never got to live to see more recognition. But it's wonderful seeing us still pay tribute after all these decades ever since for such a warm and creative artist who saw the beauty in everything. See more Read all reviews
