Was this any good?

I am a huge Mads fan but this is one I haven't seen. I'm waiting to see him in "Chaos Walking".
I guess it depends, if your in for Mads Mikkelsen you'll only have a scene, his a priest, and he doesn't do much acting, or over the top kind of thing, more narrative. About the movie I rated it as a 3/5, it means I liked it. They used a strange color palette, very bright to express how Van Gogh saw the world, nature, all that sunlight, they've also used a kind of free camera, it's never still, always moving, all the possible angles, the soundtrack is remarkable, and they knew when to use it and when to just use the ambient noise, the breathing as well. The performances are okay, there wasn't much I'd change now that I think about it. They explained why painting it's an art, why Van Gogh painted like he did, whose his major influences, not sure if they were actual Van Gogh words, I doubt it. Overall it's okay, it's not arthouse, if you're curious about van Gogh, or about painting in general you won't see just the typical "telling the story and make it a little dramatic to catch the audience" kind of thing. Watch the trailer, is more or less what you're going to get. The story telling is straight forward.
