 What is going on everyone? Welcome to a brand new Netflix movie review. Today I'm going to be discussing Velvet Buzza. Velvet Buzza is written and directed by Dan Gilroy, the man who brought us Nightcrawler, a film that I am a huge fan of. In that year it was my favorite film and it is easily still my favorite Jake Gyllenhaal performance to date. Ever since then I've wanted to see more of what Dan Gilroy is going to bring to this world of cinema. Roman Jay is right, was fine, it was decent, Denzel gave a great performance and it looked great but the film itself had a lot of story issues. Coming off of now that film I'm kind of going to Velvet Buzza expecting it kind of going back to those Nightcrawler realms. Is it gonna go there though? Like this, this film is definitely not what I expected it to be and I don't think it hits the height of what Nightcrawler was. I think Nightcrawler is an almost near masterpiece personally. I think it is a perfectly balanced film and Velvet Buzza for me at times can be a little bit of a mixed bag of some sorts.

Thought is about a bunch of artists and after a series of paintings by an unknown artist are discovered a supernatural force and acts its revenge on those who have allowed greed to take force. From the trailer to the synopsis to hearing Dan Gilroy to hearing the cast and here you have Jake John Hall, Renee Russo, David Diggs from Blind Spotting and the cast really goes on from there. Again was pretty excited about it and even though I don't I still think the film is a little bit of a mixed bag with certain instances I think a lot of that mixed bag comes from what my expectations were on this film and I kind of have to deviate them to talk about this film because the trailer really marketed to me a different type of movie and I have to say if you've not watched the trailer for this do not watch it because it actually does spoil quite a few of the great moments that were hidden within this film that I wish now I had not seen the trailer for because it kind of gets predictable you're like oh I saw that in the trailer I know exactly where that's gonna go oh I know where that death's gonna go I found myself getting a little bit disappointed by the way how the name marketed this film this film was marketed more as a horror slasher film with paintings trying to kill people which in the trailer again great concept I love what it was going for the movie doesn't really get to that till about the 30 40 minute act I do not expect that expected this film to touch more on that horror slasher flick but in general velvet bus law is actually a satirical look at the art and la lifestyle you know we've seen these kind of satirical moments in films before but dan girl obviously takes in a different limelight we saw the same thing in nightcrawler we see the same thing in roman j israeli we see what he's doing he's tackling different social aspects of life and tackling them within a more satirical darker kind of void and look to it and velvet bus law is tackling the art style in la and these kind of critiques and everything of what people do and it hits really all the niches of that lifestyle I think I liked with Dan girl where I was doing I actually really appreciate the beginning I was really into this quirky different type of tone and unique tone in fact to the whole film it kind of in the same style this really does feel like a Dan Gilroy film and it feels like it's living in the same world as nightcrawler in fact I was waiting for Lou Bloom to just walk through the door and start filming stuff in fact that actually would have been cool if there was a little bit of a tie in there characters in here are very interesting and might I say jig jillenhall is excellent in this film I mean when isn't he but he really transforms again he is a chameleon you don't see jig jillenhall you see his character and really everyone else in here gives an outstanding performance Tony Collette's great Rene Russo's great David Diggs is great I wish we would have gotten a little bit more of him and the whole cast along the side is great they all serve a purpose for this film but when we finally get into that horror aspect of what is happening with these paintings of getting a little bit predictable to that end and it kind of just turned into a very generic slasher film that is not really going back to those quirky tones the quirky tones are still there and prevalent throughout the rest of the film but at the same time I found myself just going it's getting predictable it's still fun I'm liking it I'm liking how people are dying in very creative ways but I knew this was coming from the trailer and this is more from my disappointment from what the trailer had marketed and how it had marketed to it it's not the film personally I actually really enjoyed the film even though it is a mixed bag at times and I expected also something completely different when I hear Dan Gilroy's tackling the horror genre I didn't expect a straight-up slasher horror film but at times this is what the film turns into towards the end kills in here are unique I enjoyed that for the most part the performances in here are great and it very much is a unique look into the LA satirical life I like when Netflix takes on these films they're different and I wish I would have been able to see it in theaters before I get to my final thoughts guys let me know again what are your thoughts on Velvet Bossal where you guys looking forward to this film are excited for it let's talk about it down below this new horror film on Netflix it's different it's unique I appreciate what it is did it disappoint me in a little bit because I expect something different yeah but I also expected for this film to be different just not in this kind of different way and take a shot for every single time I've said either Velvet Bossal different or unique as great cinematography it has very interesting types of kills and actual cool visual effects within here the performances are all great from everyone but in the end of the day the film does feel like a mixed bag it doesn't feel like it gets to the same level as Nightcrawler was on even though it carries great performances I do feel like the story is a little bit of a mix we're trying to get to certain things for this film for what it is I really liked it and again I'm still looking forward to whatever Dan Gilroy does next I don't think this just shows him off as being a one-note guy I think this is new for one with me personally oh it said I'm gonna give Velvet Bossal a B where you guys
