Critic Reviews
-
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
One of Minnelli's best pictures, a visually stunning portrait of Van Gogh, splendidly played by Kirk Douglas
-
Michael E. Grost, Classic Film and Television
Horrifying - but informative - tragic biography of Van Gogh, with a look at his painting technique and location filming of the places he lived.
-
Dennis Schwartz, Ozus' World Movie Reviews
A competently made and acted biopic on the Dutch artist Vincent Van Gogh (Kirk Douglas), that's nevertheless uninspiring.
-
Emanuel Levy, Screendaily
Minnelli's most visually evocative and most personal film--the only project he initiated during his tenure at MGM--centers on Van Gogh as a tormented, uncompromising artist, magnificently played by Kirk Douglas.
-
John J. Puccio, Movie Metropolis
...a fairly true account of the artist's life, and as such continues to entertain and enlighten, even if it doesn't entirely uplift.
