Loving Vincent

Plot:
Made entirely using oil paint animation. A man goes to the hometown of Vincent Van Gogh to deliver the artist’s final letter. Also delves into the mysterious circumstances surrounding his death. 

Pros:
•I’ve been wanting to see this movie for a long time and it didn’t disappoint. Wow!! This is one of the most beautiful, unique, and fascinating movies I’ve ever seen. 
•Over 100 artists work tirelessly for years to bring this movie to life and I really hope they get recognized during award season. They did an amazing job. I really felt like I was seeing things the way Van Gogh so them. 
•The story of Van Gogh is so fascinating and tragic. What I love about this movie is they don’t try and give you an exact explanation to what really happened. Did he commit suicide? Was he bullied and then murdered? Who knows. You get insight from various characters and can draw your own conclusions. 
•Wonderful cast. I assumed it would be actors providing voices or maybe some motion capture but from what I heard they shot this as live action and then painted over it. Makes it even more impressive. 
•If you’re a fan of Van Gogh or just of animation in general then you’re going to love this movie. I highly recommend it. 

Cons:
•Nothing that really affects my rating. A few moments in the beginning where I felt the story wasn’t quite as strong but that’s about it. 

My Rating: 10/10
