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.

Avant-garde cool brought back to life.

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

An intoxicating journey into the avant-garde.

...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.

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

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

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

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

...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.
