At Eternity's Gate

"A really interesting take on a biopic, especially of Vincent Van Gogh, focusing on his inner world. Willem Dafoe gave a phenomenal performance here, and he got his first (and to date only) Best Actor Oscar nomination for this, which is so well deserved. I also really like the color grading of the film’s cinematography (giving the look and feel of a painting) and also the handheld style as well. A solid companion piece to the other Van Gogh biopic LUST FOR LIFE (1956)."

"Beautifully done, gets you in Vincent's head really well and as a small observation from myself as an illustrator, I really really enjoyed how they showed the process of sketches and paintings. In most movies the actor will put a few "finishing touches" on their drawing and it's clearly done by a professional and they're just scribbling a bit at the end, but this one shows sketch line as they're being drawn and I'm super interested in how they did that. Maybe an artist double, like a stunt double lol. I'd love that job :)"

"It shows you so much of what happened to Van Gogh...His love of painting, the madness people accused him of. There is a sentence said in the movie that stayed with me.... that he was sowing the way for a new generation who might understand him better... I think he understood that during his time, he would not be appreciated, not be loved... and yet today, he is one of the most beloved painter of his time... I can see why this movie won so many prizes... "
