90There 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.
-
80It's a shimmering, thorny, and consummately self-aware valentine to a paradise, however illusory, lost.
-
60Now the big question: Does this whole thing actually work? Some of the time.
-
30Quite an achievement: the American director Todd Haynes revisits the world of London glam rock and manages to make it look dull.
