Review of At Eternity's Gate (2018)

By Betty Jo Tucker (725) for ReelTalk Movie Reviews (1,771) on 27 Nov 2018

Review of At Eternity's Gate (2018)

By Eli Glasner (71) for CBC Radio (2) on 26 Nov 2018

This is a point of view experience. Often we're looking out of Van Gogh's eyes or gazing at Dafoe's face…

Review of At Eternity's Gate (2018)

By Kate Taylor (347) for Globe and Mail (2,419) on 25 Nov 2018

The results are highly affecting – so much so, that viewers who suffer from motion sickness may find the film hard to watch…

Review of At Eternity's Gate (2018)

By Leah Pickett (132) for Chicago Reader (7,190) on 25 Nov 2018

Dafoe fully commits to his performance, as does Schnabel to the painter's vision and humanity…

Review of At Eternity's Gate (2018)

By Ray Pride (544) for Newcity (539) on 24 Nov 2018

Schnabel's work speaks passionately for itself. The ecstatic bests the tragic…

Review of At Eternity's Gate (2018)

By Jeffrey M. Anderson (3,573) for San Francisco Examiner (1,621) on 24 Nov 2018

Dafoe's deeply committed performance unquestionably drives the movie, and possibly ranks above all other cinematic portrayals of the great painter…

Review of At Eternity's Gate (2018)

By Joe Friar (93) for The Victoria Advocate (93) on 24 Nov 2018

Dafoe delivers a masterful performance while Schnabel creates the most revealing portrait of Van Gogh placing the audience in the troubled…

Review of At Eternity's Gate (2018)

By Laura Clifford (2,742) for Reeling Reviews (4,376) on 23 Nov 2018

Schnabel's taken a different tack from earlier films, plunging us into Vincent's POV, trying to get us to experience the world as Vincent saw…

Review of At Eternity's Gate (2018)

By Peter Howell (1,731) for Toronto Star (3,601) on 23 Nov 2018

It's a story both ecstatic and tragic, and Schnabel is more interested in the former than the latter…

Review of At Eternity's Gate (2018)

By Chris Knight (998) for National Post (1,405) on 23 Nov 2018

It will appeal most to those with a previous interest in the artist; if you insist on saying his last name with the guttural van-hockh instead…

Review of At Eternity's Gate (2018)

By Mike Mcgranaghan (1,821) for Aisle Seat (1,783) on 22 Nov 2018

At Eternity's Gate has much more technique than substance, making it virtually impossible to form any emotional connection to it…

Review of At Eternity's Gate (2018)

By Robert Daniels (336) for 812filmreviews (121) on 22 Nov 2018

At Eternity's Gate favors beauty in the extreme…

Review of At Eternity's Gate (2018)

By Robert Denerstein (1,148) for Denerstein Unleashed (254) on 21 Nov 2018

Amazingly, casting him as van Gogh in his 30s doesn't prove distracting because we're witnessing an intensely subjective account of van Gogh's…

Review of At Eternity's Gate (2018)

By Adam Graham (720) for Detroit News (2,682) on 21 Nov 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…

Review of At Eternity's Gate (2018)

By Jim Slotek (879) for Original Cin (1,156) on 21 Nov 2018

As an impressionistic portrait of the man, it works, mainly because of the intense vulnerability Dafoe brings to the role…

Review of At Eternity's Gate (2018)

By Andrew Parker (194) for The Gate (178) on 21 Nov 2018

The moments that work here are ultimately outweighed by indulgence and artistic pretensions that don't fit with the overall subject of the film…

Review of At Eternity's Gate (2018)

By Sean Burns (1,156) for The ARTery (128) on 21 Nov 2018

There's a searching quality to Schnabel's biopics, as if we're watching him try to learn a few tricks from these artists he so admires…

Review of At Eternity's Gate (2018)

By Robert Kojder (605) for Flickering Myth (680) on 21 Nov 2018
