Review of Velvet Buzzsaw (2019) by Jluis_001 — 18 Feb 2019

A painful disappointment. Boy I was incredibly disappointed. Especially because I expected a lot of this film and the truth is that I feel Netflix killed it with the trailer because that trailer really showed all the most relevant and exciting scenes, which unfortunately also sold it as if it were a frontal horror film and it's not like that.

I don't usually complain about these things, especially because I don't usually see many trailers. I prefer to be surprised, but this film started making noise just a few months ago and when they released the images, I honestly thought that it would be a very interesting film but it's not. It's incredibly boring. The first hour is brutally boring.

In addition, it wastes its interesting mystery and premise in a very simplistic way and frankly the cast leaves much to be desired. What a damn obsession of wasting John Malkovich for god's sake.

Jake Gyllenhaal tries and does a good job because he's the one you will remember once you finish the film but unfortunately, the final impression will be devastatingly forgettable. How **** annoying is that.
