Love, Vincent

This is a genial animation with final days of Van Gogh reconstructed from his numerous letters and positioned as a whodunit story with the implied suspicion that Van Gogh was murdered, rather than committed suicide, ostensibly by good-for-nothing teenagers he befriended in his drunken roaming. But: the movie making technique where the characters are played by the human actors and then reanimated by drawing bears its descent from an unwatchable but equally genial "Waking Life" by Linklatter.
