A confession first, I'm a huge fan of The Velvet Underground. This movie really focuses closely on the influences, reationships, and musical processes, The Velvet Underground developed in their short and influencial reign. Some great archival footage, and most of the talking heads are amazing, and give us a real feel of the 1960's - 70's NYC art scene. One of 2021's best movies.

As with both Velvet Goldmine and I’m Not There, Haynes finds an enthralling middle ground between hero worship and ambivalence. There’s no thrill, no intrigue in hagiography. It’s the music, and where it takes you, what it opens up for you, that’s the thing.

This is one of the best documentaries about the 60s ever made, Haynes clever use of tons of experimental cinema films works beautiful + this is one of rare successful attempts to describe VU musical process. Never thought that Jonas Mekas would ever fill half of Apple TV original...

The Velvet Underground was influential as a band and an art project. This doc by director Todd Haynes, who himself has defied traditional expectations, has echoed their imaginative roots. Most of this film features split screens with montage layers of experimental film and photos. There are interviews to help stitch together a timeline of the band's development. Frustratingly, they’re only identified by name, with no explanation of their relationship to the band (until a barrage of names during the credits). The history of the group is chronicled, but with NO performance videos (although there are some audio clips). As a matter of fact the only song that’s shown being sung is saved for the very end. Fans of the band will appreciate this poetic cinematic experience, which defies traditional doc tropes and mirrors the band’s ethos.

Old fans will find this unconventional documentary very compelling, while newcomers will become fascinated with one of the most influential rock bands of all time. Todd Haynes — who has expressed his music passion throughout his filmography — was the right choice to make this movie. But, beware, this is not your typical VH1 'Behind the Music' kind of thing, no; this is a more avant-garde approach, just like the subject band. Think of a collage, showing and not telling you how The Velvet Underground unorthodox pop music became relevant. Sure, there are some talking heads moments, and the second part goes faster exploring the group's timeline than the first one, but, as a fan, I'm satisfied with what Haynes achieved here.
