An artist's vision of a great artist. Schnabel uses the camera as his canvas to compel the audience to see the world as Van Gogh saw it. Unfortunately, it fractured the storytelling and left this viewer bored (I actually fell asleep, uncharacteristically). Even the fine performances (Willem Defoe earned an Oscar nod) could not rescue this movie. People will love it as art or hate it as a waste of time. I give this film a 5 (meh) out of 10. [BioPic]

Dafoe is good and the cinematography is interesting but overall the movie is boring and dull.

It was pretty. It was well made. It was boring. It covered material that's been well covered in the past. I wish I could like it more.

This is a truly beautiful film, with a phenomenal performance by Willem Dafoe, I love the camera work in this film it follows you around constantly moving and it was very unique and something that I loved, although I don't think it would work with any other movie. The directing felt like a sense of art itself, like we were seeing the world through Van Gogh's eyes.

This film, like Van Gogh's paintings are described in it, is most appealing to your senses. It's a vision, it's all consuming, There were moments that made me feel so calm, others that made me so anxious, others even made my head ache, and all of them solely because of the colours, the m More

Okay, I will freely admit up front that I rolled my eyes around about the third or fourth time we were given a top-down angle view of Van Gogh walking, walking, walking. And some of the shots went a bit too long, though I suspect there was a point being made. I do not mind being challenged by a movi More

Not one for me.

I will say that Willem Dafoe is terrific, undoubtedly. His performance in 'At Eternity's Gate' was honestly the only part of this 2018 release that kept my interest piqued. The support cast don't do anything wrong but don't really illuminate the film for me either. It has More

I get what _At Eternity's Gate_ was going for, visually. But that thing was not a thing i enjoyed. The framing made me rather uncomfortable, which, again, kind of the point, but not for me. Massive props to Dafoe of course, his Oscar nomination for best actor is not uncalled for, and special extra p More
