This was Altman's most watchable theatrical feature in about a decade, and the actors always keep you guessing.

Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader

This masterwork operates in the intimate, thoughtful vein of the great BBC bios of artistic figures.

[A] film that generates the feeling that we are in the presence of a man in the act of creation.

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times

Nowhere does Altman sermonise about the artist's greatness; his achievement is allowed to speak for itself. If only more film-makers had such confidence and integrity.

Geoff Andrew, Time Out

The enjoyment in Vincent and Theo comes more from the director's attention to art history than from his ability to interpret it anew.

Janet Maslin, New York Times
