TOMATOMETER
It’s the journey from avant-garde laughing stock to canonical status that gives Haynes’s film a greater sense of purpose than the familiar music-doc logging of line-ups, albums and creative differences.
Sight and Sound
Haynes and his collaborators make the experience feel new and surprising, assembling the component parts with an eye towards making not just a movie, but an experience -- something that you feel, as you might feel the drums during a live music performances: in your gut.
RogerEbert.com
Haynes tries out a collage-like method that tells the Velvets’ story while evoking the warm, unsettling feeling of listening to their music.
A.V. Club
Haynes doesn’t just want you to listen to the reminiscences of band members....He wants you to hear just how strange and new the Velvets sounded, to grasp, intuitively as well as analytically, where that sound came from.
New York Times
Todd Haynes’ documentary about the celebrated art rockers, with insights from former members and friends, takes its job seriously and gets under the band’s skin.
The Guardian
[A] fascinating study in how necessity becomes the mother of invention....Haynes appears to have vacuumed up every last photograph and raw scrap of home-movie and archival footage of the band that exists and stitched it all into a coruscating document that feels like a time-machine kaleidoscope.
Variety
[T]wo fabulously entertaining hours....Haynes puts his distinctive stamp on the material while crafting a work that could almost have come from the same artistic explosion it celebrates.
Hollywood Reporter
Product Description:
Writer-director Todd Haynes' documentary explores how the beatnik culture of the ‘60s produced the avant-garde achievements of American rock and roll band The Velvet Underground. Drawing from rare photographs, home movies, archival footage, and interviews with surviving members John Cale and Maureen Tucker, it traverses the subcultural sites and countercultural forces that inspired their singular body of work.
