Ett vackert porträtt om delar av Vincent van Goghs liv.

...gör poetisk verklighet av van Goghs hårda liv.

Bildpoesi försöker fånga van Gogh.

En slags biopic, der vil meget mere end at give os de historiske kendsgerninger...

Specielt samspillet med Oscar Isaac som den bryske malerkollega, ven og mentor Paul Gauguin slår gnister, når de diskuterer malerkunstens praksis.

Julian Schnabel brings an artist’s sensibility to the storytelling; Willem Dafoe (...) is all angles and anguish as the painter.

...Schnabel’s film is visually vibrant, sensitive and courageous, revealing how the artist’s work was as much fuelled by his torments as hindered by them.

At Eternity's Gate joins a long list of already existing movies about Van Gogh, and it's welcome among them.
