i think about these tweets daily: @nataliefisher: .@mcgregor_ewan do you think Curt Wild lived happily ever with Arthur after the end scene of VG? No pressure but my happiness depends on it. @mcgregor_ewan: Yes they did. They live in North London. They run a recording…
Ellie ✨Apr 1, 2017this movie invented platform shoes, bisexuality, glitter, ewan mcgregor's penis, nonlinear narration, the concept of unauthorized biopics, etc, etc.

- lilly likedVelvet Goldmine
very good, i love ewan mcgreggor, he’s a brilliant actor also i love ewan mcgreggor’s penis
Candelaria Luna likedVelvet GoldmineComo vi en una crítica, mejor por partes q a través de la historia. Magnífica de ver y de escuchar, pero la trama de fondo no aporta tanto como intenta. La música y la puesta en escena te llevan en el tiempo, y los actores y personajes ameritan verla. Pero no destaca cm pretende
Em Morris likedVelvet Goldminethe overall message behind it is very good but it is kinda hard to follow the story at times. anyway i wished they used actual lgbt actors but then again it was made in the 90s so this is the pinnacle of allyship to them. anyway it is a great movie
- Dango Dog dislikedVelvet Goldmine
didn’t really like this, but didn’t finish it so take that with a grain of your favorite spice. it put me to sleep around the 1 hr mark. i just didn’t really like how hard it was to follow what was happening. but the clothing & visuals were great
Ailinn lovedVelvet GoldmineI am but a simple man; if oscar wilde is haunting the narrative, I'm watching the movie.
Nico is "meh" onVelvet GoldmineMakeup and costumes were great but the movie was all over the place and got boring

Metacritic
Dazzling and dizzying, confusing and even annoying, Velvet Goldmine is a feverish dream of a film, a riot of color and attitude that is all pop decadence, all night long.
Kenneth Turan
Los Angeles Times
There are moments when Velvet Goldmine threatens to collapse under the weight of writer/director Todd Haynes' (Poison, Safe) ambition. But, sometimes amazingly, it doesn't, becoming in the process one of the year's freshest, most exciting films.
