The Velvet Underground - Reviews

...is hypnotic but clear-eyed, finding a different way to put a musical biography on film. And for all its radical formalism, it never forgets to be entertaining.

Todd Haynes doc gets under the art-rockers’ skin.

Avant-garde cool brought back to life.

...filmmaker Todd Haynes refreshingly crafts this movie as its own work of art, inspired by the title band's unique creative vision.

The Velvet Underground is exactly the movie the Velvet Underground deserves.

An intoxicating journey into the avant-garde.

...experimental enough to capture the raw artistic energy that sparked the Velvet Underground.

...captures the inspiring spirit of The Velvet Underground, a band built on the principle that marching to the beat of your own drum is a righteous, rebellious artistic act.

As with both Velvet Goldmine and I’m Not There, Haynes finds an enthralling middle ground between hero worship and ambivalence.

...noget nær det optimale portræt af den legendariske New York-gruppe, hvis historie altid har været en kampplads for monstrøse egoer.

...den definitive dokumentarfilm om det banebrydende band.

Fängslande inblick i en musikhistorisk milstolpe.

Att den därtill är ruggigt snygg, innovativ och nördar in sig på bandets användning av drönartoner säkrar betygsfyran.
