We love to love movies, but not this one. For the vast majority of our Oscar Sprint Profiling / Movie Reviewing lives, we get to be positive about the films we review. That was not the case with this one. What can we say? We call em’ like we see em.’ Though in all its tough lovin,’ film critical glory, here’s our eviscerating video of Willem Dafoe’s Oscar Nominated turn as Vincent Van Gogh in At Eternity’s Gate.

As usual, we begin with some early banter surrounding the cast & crew, production backstory, movie specs, and plot / premise to begin our non-spoiler review. Then we dive into our plot-less look at the production values, performances, and script before the spoiler warning dance music plays. Then it’s a full blown discussion of all story details including our best & worst scenes of the film.

There are over forty other 2018 movies reviewed thus far in either our Oscar Sprint Profile or Movie Event playlists now on Soundcloud. A final OSP on Cold War will complete this year’s set on major award nominees. We’ve also reviewed 3 of the major categories at the Academy Awards with more to come as we plan to cover at least 9 of these in their own episodes before the big night.
