...here it feels more than right to leave that work to Douglas. And it's precisely that kind of measure and reserve that makes Minnelli a realist artist himself — albeit a realist of a different kind.

I cannot say much that is positive... The worst is avoided here, yes, but can we say that the image offered of van Gogh and his life is designed to enlighten us both about his work in particular and about the problems of artistic creation in general?

A visually gorgeous telling of Van Gogh's story told by two extraordinary performances from Quinn and Douglas. Successfully balances the chaotic mentally unstable circumstances from Van Gogh with its peaceful scenery.

It's a noble effort, but one that now seems constrained by Hollywood convention, and is too eager to embrace "tortured artist" cliches at their most histrionic.
