The Wolf at the Door succeeds within its own limitations in showing what Gauguin left behind. Go to Full Review Walter Goodman New York Times 01/09/2018
... Mr. Sutherland gives his all, and that's a lot, a sensitively shadowed portrait of the artist as a middle-aged man. Go to Full Review Dennis Schwartz Dennis Schwartz Movie Reviews 02/21/2011

02/11/2011 Focusing on Gauguin's brief return from Tahiti to France, the movie cleverly provides a microcosm of Gauguin's talent, optimism, and morality. The film doesn't attempt to be exhaustive or even particularly objective, but it gives a believable glimpse of this artist. NOTE: Do not confuse this film with the more recent and vastly inferior GAUGUIN film starring KEIFER Sutherland. See more Read all reviews
