Velvet Goldmine Ratings & Reviews
Pajiba
Kristy Puchko
Haynes makes the dream so sweet, you can't help but return again and again to crushing glamor and gorgeousness of Velvet Goldmine.
Reactor
Emmet Asher-Perrin
There is a deep sense of ennui embedded in Velvet Goldmine, an acknowledgement that something singular from those years of glam can never be recaptured.
CNN.com
Paul Tatara
I'm telling you, I was bored stiff.
EmanuelLevy.Com
Emanuel Levy
Haynes' 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 Celluloid
Jeffrey M. Anderson
The 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. Paul
Rob Nelson
Velvet Goldmine gives the rock movie a makeover.
Film Journal International
David Noh
While some gay men's fantasies center around muscled jocks, cops or cowboys, Todd Haynes' would seem to be of a slightly more arcane bent.

the ending happens at least half an hour later than it should
Slant Magazine
Jeremiah Kipp
Repeat 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 Star
Shawn Bowers
A 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.
Chicago Sun-Times
Roger Ebert
In Velvet Goldmine, there is the sense that the film's arms were spread too wide, gathered in all of the possible approaches to the material and couldn't decide on just one.
