George W Was Vincent God? Maybe. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/25 Full Review Jay W Every scene and every frame of this movie is hand painted. It is the first thing you notice when you watch it, before the movie begins text pops up and proudly declares their accomplishment. And, dang, this film is a sight to behold. The love and care that went into crafting this specific art style for this film is incredible. Any given freeze frame of this movie could be hung up at a museum and fit right in. Doing one of these paintings takes so much time and skill, let alone doing enough to make 1hr 35 minutes of 60 frames per second. Each painting patterned off of Van Gough's style. And it isn't just one art style. As the film goes to flashbacks, or establishing shots, they are different beautiful Van Gough styles. And the transitions this film can do! They fully take advantage of the painting aesthetic to transition from one art style to the next. As a love letter to Vincent Van Gough, this film is 10/10. They incorporate his art style, the characters from his paintings and the facts about his life. Perfect for any art class. Oh, and the end credit song...perfect. I just wish the story was as beautiful as the visuals. As a movie, the story is still OK, and the characters likewise are fine. It plays out like it is 45-minute TV crime drama. The main character goes from person to person to interrogate them about what they knew about Vincent. He's not a detective, it just plays out in a similar police style investigation. He is just going forward in his investigation more out of curiosity than out of duty. Without a clear motive from our main character and no definitive goal, the movie feels like it drags. For such a short movie, I shouldn't be getting bored, but the story does become pretty repetitive after returning to the same locations and hearing just a little more about the same event. I recommend it more off of its visuals than I do off of the characters or story. But so it is in life, when you look this good, you really don't have to worry about character. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review AJJ J It's a very bizarre animation for sure.. some people may not like it from first viewing, but I find myself really moved by it. The colors are so delicious as well.. they stick to your mind. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/10/24 Full Review S P Superb on all accounts, the story is endearing, the visuals are beautiful and stimulating. A must watch for those who are familiar to van Gogh's works, but also those that want to discover it. A masterpiece of European art. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/18/24 Full Review Alec B I wish they'd put half as much effort into the screenplay as they did the admittedly stunning animation. Hell, even jettisoning the plot might have been the better bet that way we could simply enjoy the imagery. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/05/24 Full Review ryan b Incredible movie.
