velvet buzzsaw (2019). directed by dan gilroy.

i find this movie delicious. a lot of people on social media shared their distaste for it - that the film lacked structure, it's dull, that there is no climax - it seems like they don't like dark comedies. 

whether or not this film is well done, is another question altogether. 

to me, this film is rather straightforward. it is playful, like a lot of dark comedies, teasing us with the most unlikable people and in the most impossible situations. and in this case - the stuck up art community is put under the spotlight - gallery owners, art critiques, ambitious personal assistants who want to climb the ladder to fame and riches. these are not nice people, which makes us doubt if they like art at all. 

watch this if you are into dark comedies.
