I normally prefer action movies but went to this with my wife and daughter and really expecting much. I was pleasantly surprised.
1) Beautiful artwork. This should win an award for the artwork alone. Not only is it clever, its well integrated with van Goghs style.
2) The story starts out slow but gets interesting. A who done it leading us deeper and deeper into a mystery. This is not a boring artsy movie, the story stands on it's own.
3) Interesting and sometimes likable characters. The actors and actresses did a nice job. The personality of the characters comes through.
4) Nice closing song.
If you hate art, and hate movies that aren't action packed you probably wont like it. If you like van Goghs work, and are willing to put up with a slower developing who done it, I highly recommend this movie. It's the most creative and visually appealing movie I've seen in years.
