COMMENTS:
- It was just as well that this film’s speculative detective-mystery ‘plot’ — which I found not only difficult to follow but didn’t even say very much about Vincent the man — was largely irrelevant, since it was the astonishing technical achievement of the production that led me finally to give it a rating of ‘Very Good’. (That said, I do generally prefer to be able to gaze long at paintings, including those by Van Gogh!)
- Nit-picking department: all the locals in Auvers-sur-Oise (a village 20 miles from Paris) spoke with vaguely Lancashire accents, which might have been an eccentric choice but at least showed consistency (the marked exception of the Irish boatman apart!). What was totally improbable, however, was that Armand (the yellow-coated ‘detective’) and his postman Dad, both of whom were born and raised just outside Arles should speak so differently: Armand sounding like a Sahf London wide-boy, while his father was yet another Irishman.
- Inspirational. What a clever concept
- Very innovative
- Lovely experience and I had lunch in the café. When’s the next one
- Stunning
- Masterpiece. Just like his art. As moving as gazing at his many works
- An amazing achievement and totally beautiful
- Brilliant, outstanding and very moving. This is the first time I have written a comment
- I was intrigued by the concept of the painted film. I felt it did well to sorting the ambiguity of his death as it is an often untold story. Very good art and moving scenes – I cried.
- Unable to take my eyes of the screen. Every single moment was worth pausing over. Changed my appreciation of both painting and film
- What a banquet of colour. Thank you for putting this film on it the most beautiful film I’ve seen in years. Bravo!

- Brilliant film. So glad you put it on. We came from Swansea to see it. Thanks
- Amazing, mesmerising, beautiful. I loved the way the paintings rippled and all the detail.
- Thought provoking. Excellent portrayal of the artist. Thanks
- I had problems with the dialogue quality. Fortunately I have read most of Van Gogh’s letters.
- Beautiful – visually difficult to get used to at first but when I settled to it , it became easy to watch
- Absolutely fabulous. The work that went into the cartoon was exceptional. Wish all cartoons were done in this style instead of CGI
- Been waiting to see it for ages. I will watch it without the sound next time so my brain can absorb the visuals
- Made me nostalgic for his work
