Reviews

Velvet Buzzsaw has received mixed reviews from critics, with an IMDb rating of 5.7/10, Rotten Tomatoes score of 61%, and a Metacritic rating of 61/100. While some critics have praised the film for its unique premise and satirical take on the art world, others have found fault in its disjointed narrative and lack of depth in character development. The Hollywood Reporter described it as 'a glossy, gratifyingly gory genre trifle that isn't nearly as sharp as it pretends to be,' while IndieWire called it 'a beautifully bonkers art world satire.' Despite its flaws, Velvet Buzzsaw manages to captivate audiences with its stylish visuals and dark humor, making it a worthwhile watch for fans of horror and art world dramas.
