Schnabel keeps the dialogue to a minimum and, like a good painting, lets the visuals do the talking.November 25, 2018
At Eternity's Gate mainly succeeds, dusting off a century's worth of global celebrity to both animate a suffering soul and rescue a radical artistic mission from the museum gift shop.November 20, 2018
Dafoe's elegiac quality hints at why the artist was ahead of his time: because he saw more than anyone else could. It's a towering performance in a movie that casts a magnetic spell.February 22, 2019
Elegantly aimless direction of Julian Schnabel, who doesn't seem interested in deviating from the party line on van Gogh as a loner, a loon, a late bloomer and a lost cause.February 26, 2019
[A] luminous biopic. [Full review in Spanish]November 25, 2018
Dafoe fully commits to his performance, as does Schnabel to the painter's vision and humanity.November 23, 2018
It's a story both ecstatic and tragic, and Schnabel is more interested in the former than the latter.February 25, 2019
Dafoe is able to transmit the vulnerability of a man that constantly feels rejected. [Full Review in Spanish]February 16, 2019
With rich, convincing lead performances by Willem Dafoe and Oscar Isaac, the film breathes with a love of art and the toil it demands. Working with brilliant French cinematographer Benoit Delhomme, the film is an ever-pleasing swirl of style.November 21, 2018
Dafoe may be the best actor around for expressing an inner life in extremis.February 19, 2019
There have been many portrayals of Van Gogh onscreen. Part of what makes [Willem] Dafoe's interpretation so successful is his outright refusal to present him as a madman.November 21, 2018
Dafoe adds another masterful performance to his resume; his work here is as deep and as piercing as his performance in "The Last Temptation of Christ" more than 30 years ago.
