Velvet Buzzsaw

Velvet Buzzsaw (2019) is a Netflix satirical horror-thriller you can watch online on iFILM. When a reclusive painter dies and leaves behind a stash of canvases, the Los Angeles art scene smells money.

Jake Gyllenhaal plays Morf Vandewalt, a venomous critic whose verdict can launch a career or bury one. Gallery owner Rhodora Haze (Rene Russo) and her ambitious assistant Josephina (Zawe Ashton) rush to cash in before anyone else can. The trouble is, the dead man's work carries something that does not forgive greed. One by one, the dealers and tastemakers start dying, and each death looks like a piece of art.

Director Dan Gilroy reunites Gyllenhaal and Russo after Nightcrawler, with Toni Collette, John Malkovich and Natalia Dyer rounding out the cast. It is a sharp jab at a culture that prices creativity by the square inch. Stream Velvet Buzzsaw (2019) online on iFILM.
