Looking past a great Jake Gyllenhaal performance, some pretty interesting characters and very quality art direction, this film is extremely unfulfilling. A unique and interesting premise started this film off with some good build up, but as all unraveled, 'Velvet Buzzsaw' became a mess. The film has no payoff, no deeper meaning, no real worth. It left me very disappointed and with a true feeling of unfulfillment. I am all for movies leaving viewers to interpret certain things, but the way this film played out there wasn't much to interpret in the first place, it was all a misfire. I do applaud the cast for truly bringing this film to life with strong performances all around, the set design is also a major factor in this films slight successes.
