This film changed my life.

Rating: 8/10 (20 May 2002)

I don't know what it is about "Velvet Goldmine", but since the moment I first saw it I've been captivated and stricken by it. It goes beyond the glitter and its amazing visual look. There's something so human about this movie, I believe it has some sort of spectacular meaning under the surface that's not able to be decoded.
"Velvet Goldmine" is simply put, my favourite film of all time. It's not superficial as it first may seem, and it's not pretentious either. There's something universal about it that is shown through the characters and their inner-struggles. The whole atmosphere of this film is surreal and everything that goes on in the movie I've noticed a strong emotional attachement to. Todd Haynes quite possibly could have made one of the most underrappreciated and truthful films of all time.
