	Author	Review
United States	Peter Debruge Variety	"[It] brings a poetic sense of tragedy to the last act of van Gogh’s life (...) It’s the sensitivity the film shows toward its subject that ultimately distinguishes this particular oeuvre"	POS
United States	A. O. Scott The New York Times	"The questions are interesting, but not quite sufficiently dramatized to sustain 'Loving Vincent' for its full length. As the story limps and drags, the viewer also becomes accustomed to the images"	NEU

United States	Sheri Linden Los Angeles Times	"As moving pictures, though, the brushstrokes have an unexpected pull in this uneven but deeply felt homage."	POS
United States	Joe McGovern Entertainment Weekly	"Damned if 'Loving Vincent' isn’t one of the most lunatic labors of love to appear on movie screens this year. And in that sense, a fitting, miraculous tribute to its subject."	POS
