Critic Reviews of "Velvet Goldmine"
EmanuelLevy.ComApril 23, 2012Haynes' chronicle of the glam era is visually rich but too dramatically fragmented and overwhelmed by music to permit involvement in the tale's characters or the director's POV.
Combustible CelluloidJanuary 07, 2012The style is devilishly flamboyant and gleefully indulgent; every shot is full of amazing stuff. The edits dance and twist. It's a glam movie about a glam subject.
City Pages, Minneapolis/St. PaulSeptember 01, 2009Velvet Goldmine gives the rock movie a makeover.
Film Journal InternationalMarch 28, 2006While some gay men's fantasies center around muscled jocks, cops or cowboys, Todd Haynes' would seem to be of a slightly more arcane bent.
Draxblog Movie ReviewsFebruary 28, 2005the ending happens at least half an hour later than it should
Slant MagazineMarch 25, 2004Repeat viewings will allow one to piece together the fragmented montage as a melancholic ode to freedom, and those who fight for it through art.
Kansas City StarSeptember 05, 2003A bizarre thing, this trippy movie takes you on a whirlwind tour of Brit glam rock and doesn't let go. Graphic and unforgiving, but good.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)August 27, 2003Clever, often fascinating look at the world of glam rock.
MovieMartyr.comApril 02, 2003Working slightly against it, it's got an elliptical approach that's initially emotionally disorienting, a plot structure that's been a bit too audaciously borrowed from Citizen Kane, of all things, and a rather vacant performance at [its]center.
New TimesFebruary 02, 2003Ewan really needs more lessons before he attempts an American accent again.
Nick's Flick PicksJanuary 10, 2003Not a superficial music video but a smart and compassionate dissection of superficiality, and of the alternating joys and disillusionments experienced by its audience.
