ChuckFlixs: Velvet Buzzsaw · Screenfellas Entertainment

I apologize for this ChuckFlixs being late. But my wife and I were in the process of closing on a new house this week. On top of that I had work, school, and basketball games. Iâ€™m ready to relax this weekend.

This week for ChuckFlixs Iâ€™ll be reviewing Velvet Buzzsaw. Itâ€™s the amazing duo of director Dan Gilroy and amazing actor Jake Gyllenhaal. Their last film was Nightcrawler released in 2014.

Velvet Buzzsaw is definitely not a movie for everyone. The movie is satirical take on the art world. Itâ€™s horror film that mixes comedy in it throughout the film. The movie is about an unknown who passes away. His paintings become in high demand with even higher price tags. However a supernatural force enacts revenge on those of have chosen greed over art.

I really liked this film. It was weird and entertaining. Yesterday I had worked out then went to work from 3-9. I didnâ€™t start this 2 hour movie until after 10. I was tired but this movie kept me interested and invested.

Positives
Jake Gyllenhaal plays an art critic named Morf. He absolutely kills this part and does an amazing job. He is a pretentious and zany character. At times youâ€™re suppose to hate him but I couldnâ€™t do it. Because everyone around him were awful people too. He was my favorite character. Now not all characters are jerks but most of them are. They built the suspense up well in this movie.

Middle of the road
Most of the other performances were middle of the road for me. They were just good performances and I bought into their characters and their actions. Natalia Dyer plays an assist throughout the movie. Something they do with her character for comic relief throughout the movie is hilarious. The twists were done well for the most part and kept me guessing.

Negatives
I donâ€™t have too many negatives for the film. There are a few twists that donâ€™t work that well as the others. But they arenâ€™t that bad. Plus there a few characters that are there just to be there.

Rating: 8/10
