[[A. O. Scott]], writing for ''[[The New York Times]]'', found the visual aspects of the film to be innovative, stating: "the viewer also becomes accustomed to the images, and astonishment at the film's innovative, painstaking technique begins to fade. But its charm never quite wears off, for reasons summed up in the title."<ref>{{Cite news |last=Scott |first=A. O. |date=2017-09-21 |title=Review: 'Loving Vincent' Paints van Gogh in His Own Images |language=en-US |work=The New York Times |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/09/21/movies/loving-vincent-review-van-gogh.html |access-date=2023-02-11 |issn=0362-4331}}</ref> Actress [[Angourie Rice]] had similar sentiments, writing in an essay that “it was such a fascinating experience to witness the actors’ performances turned into Van Gogh style paintings. The great thing about this film is that it also made me question what the merging of artforms meant for art, film, and everything in between.”<ref>{{cite web|url=https://thoughtstokeepmesane.wordpress.com/2018/01/20/loving-vincent/|title=Loving Vincent|last=Rice|first=Angourie|date=20 January 2018|website=Thoughts to Keep Me Sane|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180820173036/https://thoughtstokeepmesane.wordpress.com/2018/01/20/loving-vincent/|archive-date=2018-08-20}}</ref>
 
Giuseppe Sedia of the ''[[Krakow Post]]'' praised the impressive visual style of the movie. However, he added, "In their concern to keep the viewers interested, directors Kobiela and Welchman have built an over-narrated and spirit-dampening movie in which the preponderance of the dialogues hinders the viewers’ immersion into the violent beauty and materiality of Van Gogh’s oeuvre".<ref>{{Cite news|author= Sedia, Giuseppe|date=15 October 2017|title=Kino Mania: Loving Vincent (2017)|url= http://www.krakowpost.com/18287/2017/10/kino-mania-loving-vincent-2017|date=October 15, 2017|work=[[Krakow Post]]|access-date=11 December 2018}}</ref>
