Velvet Buzzsaw
We are talking about more horrific events that take us to the world of excitement and pleasure. The story began with the discovery of a series of paintings by an unknown artist. Perhaps these paintings are the reason for the change of things where a supernatural power avenges those who allowed their greed to object to art and perhaps it is very frightening.

A half-baked work of shambolic horror-kitsch -- barely functional as a story but still enjoyable for its moments of fleeting midnight-movie madness.

Velvet Buzzsaw has the kind of bite that leaves a mark.

Velvet Buzzsaw is never less than a feast for the eyes even when it reduces the plot to B-level butchery. What's missing is the potent provocation that Gilroy seemed to be developing at the start.

Velvet Buzzsaw may seem like a critique on greediness and our relationship to art on the surface, but what Dan Gilroy has created in nothing short of a surreal, campy and bonkers and entertaining ride through hell.

The story - a dead man's paintings plague glib art hounds - allows for a few nifty effects-driven scares, but the upshot is nearly as superficial as the world it's lampooning.

It comes within an inch of a really snappy disquisition (to use Morf's word) on the painting marketplace, but to avoid disappointment it's better approached as a gory romp.

A film that's every bit as shiny and hollow as those colorful balloon animals that Jeff Koons has sold for millions of dollars.

This film is a matter of palettes, but we should be satisfied that risks like this are materialized for audiences. [Full Review in Spanish]

An unfunny, unsuccessful, elitist spoof about what happens when art and commerce collide.

Its ideas are silly, but Jake Gyllenhaal delivers them with such goofy passion that who cares?

It's not Nightcrawler only because it's not relatable for everyone, but it's not by any means a lesser story or cinematic product

"Velvet Buzzsaw" has fun sending up the pretentiousness of the art world and its collective clamoring to discover the Next Big Thing, but it loses its bite as it morphs into a directionless horror romp.
