History YMMV / LovingVincent

* TearJerker: Vincent's death in general, but in particular Theo's depression after the fact; his wife tries to distract him with their infant child, but he only stares sadly at Vincent's paintings, with tears in his eyes and a DeathByDespair not long after his brother.

* UncannyValley: Some of the characters look a little dead-eyed due to the super-realistic oil painted rotoscoping.

** After talking to several people in town, going in circles, getting into arguments (and fights) and realizing his own unfairness to Vincent, Armand finally comes to some level of understanding about Vincent's last days in Auvers. [[spoiler:Realizing that he's honest, he bequeathes the letter to Dr. Gachet's care. Later, Armand and his father receive a reply from Johanna van Gogh, Theo's widow, who copies the letter out for them.]]

* AnimationAgeGhetto: Averted--and not in the usual AllAdultAnimationIsSouthPark way. This is one of the rare animated films targeting an adult audience that is ''not'' a comedy. Even when it was nominated at the Oscars, most people complained about ''WesternAnimation/TheBossBaby''[='=]s nomination, and accepted the mature tone of both this film, as well as ''WesternAnimation/TheBreadwinner''.

* SugarWiki/VisualEffectsOfAwesome: Oh hell ''yes.'' The movie was made with incredible attention to detail and loving effort, and even casual art lovers will recognize many of Van Gogh's paintings in the film. The commitment to keeping the animation in Van Gogh's style is also obvious, with his characteristic thick brushstrokes so accurate that they almost make the film 3D at some points.

'''Marguerite''': Yes. He did. That's why I take flowers to his grave. [[DueToTheDead It's all I can do for him now]]. He would appreciate the delicate beauty of their blooms. Even each blade of their grassy stems. No detail of life was too small, or too humble for him. He appreciated and loved it all.

** The end credits reveal that Marguerite never married, and kept the portrait Vincent had made of her at the piano in her bedroom for the rest of her life. Whether this was out of guilt or if Vincent was TheLostLenore for her is pure conjecture.

* AwardSnub: Was nominated for Best Animated Feature but lost to ''WesternAnimation/{{Coco}}'' (though that's not to say that ''Coco'' was undeserving either).

* VindicatedByHistory: In-universe, the film notes that Van Gogh is now considered the father of modern painting, with his works beloved and considered priceless.

* RealLifeWritesThePlot: Starting in the 2000s, some scholars have theorized that Van Gogh ''was'' murdered, or at least the victim of an accidental shooting by a young companion that Vincent lied about to spare the child's feelings.
