Velvet Buzzsaw was a mixed bag for me which I didn't expect. My expectations were quite high after watching Nightcrawler a movie in which starred Gyllenhaal and was directed by Gilroy and this movie had the same actor-director combination. Gyllenhaal like always was phenomenal in this role, his and Toni Colette's performances were the best even though Colette didn't have a big role in the movie. Rest of the performances were ok not anything special. This certainly looks like a Gilroy movie, I loved the visual style and some scenes were shot to perfection. Now the negatives, firstly, it has all the horror cliches we've come to expect like fakescares, characters making horrible decisions and a cliche ending although ironically one aspect of the ending was unexpected. Secondly, I hate how some subplots were introduced towards the end and were never resolved or even mentioned later. Thirdly, the movie can't find a balance between horror and comedy, I found some scenes to be emotionally confusing i.e should I be laughing or be scared. In conclusion, the movie was a mixed bag, with things that work and things that don't in the end, the positives are more than the negative so I'll give the movie a "C+" or a 6.5/10.
